Implication

May associate vaccination with fewer FMDV carriers; leaves open causality and practice change pending prospective trials.

Structured PICO

Does routine 6-monthly vaccination reduce the incidence of foot-and-mouth disease virus carrier cattle in an enzootic area?

P
Population
3,450 cattle in an enzootic foot-and-mouth disease area (1,231 from vaccinated area, 2,219 from non-vaccinated area)
I
Intervention
Routine 6-monthly vaccination with an inactivated bivalent vaccine for 3-4 years
C
Comparator
No vaccination (cattle from non-vaccinated enzootic areas)
O
Outcome
Incidence of foot-and-mouth disease virus 'carrier' cattlesurrogate

Routine 6-monthly vaccination in an enzootic area significantly reduces the incidence of foot-and-mouth disease virus carrier cattle, suggesting eradication is possible through vaccination.
