Foot and mouth disease immunity research. Microbiologist using an automatic liquid handling system to prepare multi-well plates for a real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to study the immune responses of pigs to foot-and-mouth disease virus infection. FMDV affects cloven-hooved mammals, commonly cattle and pigs, and is highly contagious.
