Indicates endemic FMD exposure in Eritrean cattle; leaves open serotype-specific control strategies pending longitudinal studies.
Cross-Sectional (n=2,429)
Yes
The study identifies a high seroprevalence of FMD virus serotypes O and A in Eritrean cattle, suggesting that targeted vaccination with matching strains could be an effective control strategy.
Tekleghiorghis et al. (2015) conducted a cross-sectional in Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) (n=2,429). FMD virus antibodies was evaluated on Overall seroprevalence of FMD. The overall seroprevalence of foot-and-mouth disease in Eritrean cattle was 26% by NS ELISA and 30% by VNT, with serotypes O and A being the most prevalent.
