Population
Cattle and buffaloes affected by foot and mouth disease virus outbreaks in Egypt, yielding 15 FMDV isolates.
Design
Preclinical
Key result
Fifteen FMDV serotype SAT2 isolates from the 2012 Egyptian outbreak were found to be antigenically closely related to the vaccine strain.

Supports vaccine strain selection for Egyptian SAT2 outbreaks; leaves open need for ongoing antigenic surveillance in veterinary settings.
Observational (n=15)
Yes
The 2012 FMDV SAT2 outbreak isolates in Egypt were antigenically closely related to the existing vaccine strain, indicating the vaccine was appropriate.
A 2015 study conducted an observational in Foot-and-Mouth disease virus (FMDV) (n=15). Vaccine matching tests was evaluated on Antigenic matching of FMD virus isolates and vaccine strain (r-value). Fifteen FMDV serotype SAT2 isolates from the 2012 Egyptian outbreak were found to be antigenically closely related to the vaccine strain.
