Key result
Exposure to three different foot-and-mouth disease virus lineages in captive scimitar-horned oryx resulted in no mortality but a seroconversion rate of 78.0% within two weeks.

No
Scimitar-horned oryx are susceptible to FMD, highlighting the risks of virus incursion into zoos and captive facilities in the Arabian Peninsula.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
No mortality in most oryx FMD outbreaks; leaves open strain-specific risks and control needs in captive antelopes.
Lignereux et al. (2020) conducted an observational in Foot-and-mouth disease (n=4,000). Foot-and-mouth disease virus exposure was evaluated on Seroconversion. Exposure to three different foot-and-mouth disease virus lineages in captive scimitar-horned oryx resulted in no mortality but a seroconversion rate of 78.0% within two weeks.
