Table 2. Inclusion and exclusion criteria for peer-reviewed studies included in this review.

Inclusion criteria	Exclusion criteria
• Studies should be original articles published in a peer-reviewed journal during the last 20 years (from 1997 to 2016)	• Studies related to another pathogenic agent (such as enteroviruses) instead of FMDV
• Studies should focus on different spatial and spatiotemporal models to estimate the risk of occurrence or transmission of FMD	• Studies reporting the use of biological models rather than statistical or mathematical models
• Studies describing quantitative and/or qualitative risk modelling of FMD	• Articles describing models of the transmission dynamics of FMDV spread through populations, or compartmental models
• Studies reporting patterns of different epidemiological outbreaks in terms of FMDV spatiotemporal distribution	• Modelling studies reporting the exploration of either different strategies or resource requirements in hypothetical outbreaks (simulation models)
• Retrospective analysis of historical outbreaks data with the purpose to highlight FMD risk factors	• Articles describing only the modelling of economic impact of FMD • Studies carried out to assess laboratory tests or the performance of surveillance systems (sensitivity and specificity) • Experimental studies related to factors associated with secretion and excretion of FMDV • Modelling studies that did not explicitly discuss FMDV transmission and risk factors for its spread
