Implication

May guide FMD surveillance at wildlife-livestock interfaces; leaves open transmission dynamics and control implications.

Structured PICO

Population

African buffalo (Syncerus caffer) and impala (Aepyceros melampus) in the Kruger National Park, South Africa, from which 34 SAT-2 type foot-and-mouth disease viruses (20 buffalo, 14 impala) were isolated between 1985 and 1996.

Outcome

Intra- and interspecies relationships of SAT-2 type FMD viruses based on VP1 gene sequencessurrogate

VP1 gene sequencing provides evidence of natural transmission of foot-and-mouth disease virus between African buffalo and impala in the wild.
