English translation:the British foot and mouth disease outbreak
Explanation:
The term "epizootic" (n) exists but is mainly used in veterinary circles. This is not normally used when talked about in the media for example.

This example is for veterinarians:

neutral  David Sirett: Technically, an outbreak (on a single farm) is a "foyer", and an epizootic may have a number of outbreaks. The media use "epidemic" (although arguably "demos" does not include animals), but also sometimes "outbreak" as a synonym for epidemic.

agree  LJC (X): My New Oxford Dictionary of English gives 'outbreak' as an alternative to 'epizootic'.
