A Febre Aftosa é uma doença viral com gran<strong>de</strong> po<strong>de</strong>r <strong>de</strong> difusão, que<br />
acomete bovinos. Um surto epidêmico <strong>de</strong>sta enfermida<strong>de</strong> po<strong>de</strong> causar<br />
gran<strong>de</strong>s prejuízos econômicos, limitando o acesso do país afetado ao<br />
mercado internacional <strong>de</strong> carnes e <strong>de</strong>rivados. Por este motivo, é <strong>de</strong> gran<strong>de</strong><br />
interesse o estudo <strong>de</strong> medidas <strong>de</strong> prevenção e controle <strong>de</strong> possíveis<br />
epi<strong>de</strong>mias.<br />
Neste trabalho, elaboramos um mo<strong>de</strong>lo matemático discreto para o<br />
estudo da dinâmica <strong>de</strong> uma epi<strong>de</strong>mia <strong>de</strong> Febre Aftosa. No mo<strong>de</strong>lo, a<br />
transmissão se dá pelo contato direto entre os indivíduos próximos e<br />
também por contatos não locais que representam a dispersão do vírus por<br />
ventos, pássaros e veículos automotores.<br />
Os resultados obtidos através das simulações permitem estimar a<br />
velocida<strong>de</strong> <strong>de</strong> propagação <strong>de</strong> uma epi<strong>de</strong>mia <strong>de</strong> Febre Aftosa. Além disso, o<br />
mecanismo não local consi<strong>de</strong>rado no mo<strong>de</strong>lo permite justificar a pouca<br />
eficiência das barreiras sanitárias no controle <strong>de</strong> uma epi<strong>de</strong>mia.<br />

The spread <strong>of</strong> the foot-and-mouth disease: a discrete<br />
mathematical mo<strong>de</strong>l<br />
The foot-and-mouth disease is a highly contagious viral illness. It<br />
spreads itself out very fast in bovines. An outbreak <strong>of</strong> this disease may<br />
cause great economical losses and, therefore, affect consi<strong>de</strong>rably the<br />
country in the international meat market. As a consequence, the research<br />
on prevention and control measures <strong>of</strong> possible outbreaks is <strong>of</strong> paramount<br />
interest.<br />
In this paper, we worked on a discrete mathematical mo<strong>de</strong>l, based on<br />
Cellular Automata, to study the dynamics <strong>of</strong> a foot-and-mouth disease<br />
outbreak. In the proposed mo<strong>de</strong>l, the illness is transmitted in two ways: 1.<br />
by the immediate contact with the contaminated members <strong>of</strong> the population<br />
(local contacts); 2. contamination carried out by the wind, birds or vehicles<br />
engine propelled (non local contacts). Block zones were inserted in or<strong>de</strong>r to<br />
represent the actual mechanism used to avoid the spreading <strong>of</strong> the disease.<br />
The results obtained through this simulation allow us to estimate the<br />
propagation speed <strong>of</strong> an eventual outbreak <strong>of</strong> this disease. In addition, the<br />
called non local mechanism inclu<strong>de</strong>d in the mo<strong>de</strong>l justifies the sanitary<br />
barriers’ lack <strong>of</strong> efficiency in controlling such outbreaks.<br />
