Novel FMDV topotype detected in Egypt; leaves open whether local vaccines require updating pending broader surveillance.
Observational (n=35)
Yes
The study identified circulating FMDV serotypes in Northern Egypt, including a newly introduced serotype O (East Africa-3 topotype), highlighting the need to update local vaccines.
Rady et al. (2014) conducted an observational in Foot-and-mouth disease (n=35). FMDV serotyping and phylogenetic analysis was evaluated on FMDV serotype detection and phylogenetic lineage. Molecular epidemiology of 35 FMDV specimens from Egyptian livestock identified serotypes A, SAT2, and O, including a novel East Africa-3 topotype of serotype O not previously detected in Egypt.
