Key result
The overall seroprevalence of foot-and-mouth disease in cattle was 8.18%, with age, contact with wild animals, and herd movement patterns significantly associated with seropositivity (P<0.05).
Population
770 cattle in seven districts of the South Omo zone, south-western Ethiopia

May warrant targeted surveillance in mobile herds with wildlife exposure; leaves open causal roles and generalizability beyond this cross-sectional sample.

FMD is an important cattle disease in south-western Ethiopia, with seroprevalence significantly associated with wildlife contact and herd movement.
Molla et al. (2010) conducted a cross-sectional in foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) (n=770). Risk factors (age, contact with wild animals, distance from parks, movement pattern) was evaluated on Seroprevalence of foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) (p=<0.05). The overall seroprevalence of foot-and-mouth disease in cattle was 8.18%, with age, contact with wild animals, and herd movement patterns significantly associated with seropositivity (P<0.05).
