Key result
FMDV genome was detected in 44.8% and 47.8% of samples from Minya and Kafr El-Sheikh governorates respectively, with serotypes A and SAT2 circulating predominantly in cattle.
Why the study?
Despite intensive vaccination programs, foot and mouth disease remains endemic in Egypt with continuous outbreaks, motivating the molecular characterization of circulating FMDV strains.
Population
104 samples from suspected and apparently healthy cattle, buffaloes, sheep, and goats
Design
Cross-sectional molecular epidemiological study

Strain characterization informs vaccine updates in endemic regions; leaves open efficacy against outbreaks without controlled trials.
Cross-Sectional (n=104)
Yes
The study identifies the circulation of FMDV serotypes A and SAT2 in Egyptian livestock, highlighting the need for continuous monitoring and vaccine matching.
Al-Ebshahy et al. (2025) conducted a cross-sectional in Foot and mouth disease (FMD) (n=104). FMDV exposure was evaluated on Detection of FMDV genome. FMDV genome was detected in 44.8% and 47.8% of samples from Minya and Kafr El-Sheikh governorates respectively, with serotypes A and SAT2 circulating predominantly in cattle.
