Kibore et al. (2013) conducted a cross-sectional in Foot and mouth disease (n=3,709). Foot and mouth disease was evaluated on National prevalence of foot and mouth disease. The national seroprevalence of foot and mouth disease in Kenyan bovines was 52.5% (1,947 of 3,709 samples), with significant associations for age groups (p=0.002) and vaccination status (p=0.048).
