an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure...once something like this starts spreading, tring to contain it will be rather hard to do. Nothing like closing the barn door AFTER the cows got out...
What does it hurt to go pro-active on disease control? nothing...

If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous, he will not bite you; that is the main difference between a dog and man.
