Implication

Challenges assumption of small ruminants as key FMD reservoirs; leaves open breed-specific resistance for mechanistic studies.

Structured PICO

P
Population
Indigenous sheep and goats in Kenya
I
Intervention
Exposure to two bovine field strains of foot-and-mouth disease virus
O
Outcome
Development of clinical disease, virus carrier status, and immune response

Indigenous sheep and goats in Kenya are frequently exposed to foot-and-mouth disease but rarely become virus carriers or develop clinical disease.
