OPF from FMDV carriers transmits disease to naive cattle; leaves open carriers' role in natural transmission and trade policy.
Does transfer of oropharyngeal fluid from persistently infected FMDV carrier cattle cause clinical FMD in naive cattle?
Demonstrates that FMDV carrier cattle can transmit the disease via oropharyngeal fluid, which is important for optimizing FMD risk mitigation strategies.
Arzt et al. (2018) studied Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD). Transfer of oropharyngeal fluid (OPF) from persistently infected FMDV carrier cattle was evaluated on Fulminant clinical FMD. Transfer of oropharyngeal fluid from persistently infected FMDV carrier cattle to naive cattle led to fulminant clinical FMD.
