Key result
The first detection of FMDV O/ME-SA/Ind-2001d in Vietnam occurred in 2015, causing four outbreaks with an overall attack rate of 85% in pigs and 93% in cattle on affected premises.
Observational (n=398)
The first detection of FMDV O/ME-SA/Ind-2001d in Vietnam highlights the inter-regional spread of this lineage and has substantial implications for the epidemiology and control of foot-and-mouth disease in Southeast Asia.

Signals FMDV Ind-2001d emergence in Vietnam; extends regional epidemiology while leaving control strategies open.
In recent years, foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) serotype O, topotype Middle East-South Asia (ME-SA), lineage Ind-2001d has spread from the Indian subcontinent to the Middle East, North Africa, and Southeast Asia. In the current report, we describe the first detection of this lineage in Vietnam in May, 2015 in Đắk Nông province. Three subsequent outbreaks caused by genetically related viruses occurred between May-October, 2015 after which the virus was not detected in clinical outbreaks for at least 15 subsequent months. The observed outbreaks affected (in chronological order): cattle in Đắk Nông province, pigs in Đắk Lắk province and Đắk Nông province, and cattle in Ninh Thuận province. The clinical syndromes associated with these outbreaks were consistent with typical FMD in the affected species. Overall attack rate on affected premises was 0.85 in pigs and 0.93 in cattle over the course of the outbreak. Amongst 378 pigs at risk on affected premises, 85 pigs died during the outbreaks; there were no deaths among cattle. The manner in which FMDV/O/ME-SA/Ind-2001d was introduced into Vietnam remains undetermined; however, movement of live cattle is the suspected route. This incursion has substantial implications for epidemiology and control of FMD in Southeast Asia.

Vu et al. (2017) conducted an observational in Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) (n=398). FMDV O/ME-SA/Ind-2001d was evaluated on Attack rate and case fatality proportion. The first detection of FMDV O/ME-SA/Ind-2001d in Vietnam occurred in 2015, causing four outbreaks with an overall attack rate of 85% in pigs and 93% in cattle on affected premises.
