Comparison
Foot and Mouth Disease Virus (FMDV) infection vs Apparently healthy uninfected cattle
Design
Preclinical
Key result
FMDV infection in cattle significantly decreased serum total proteins and calcium, and increased cardiac biomarkers (cTnI, CK-MB), indicating myocardial cell damage.

Suggests cardiac monitoring in FMDV cattle outbreaks; hypothesis-generating for cross-species viral cardiotoxicity.
Case-Control (n=45)
Yes
FMDV infection in cattle is associated with significant myocardial cell damage as evidenced by elevated cTnI and CK-MB levels.
Hashem et al. (2018) conducted a case-control in Foot and Mouth Disease Virus (FMDV) (n=45). Foot and Mouth Disease Virus (FMDV) infection vs. Apparently healthy cattle was evaluated on Hematological parameters, biochemical aspects, and cardiac biomarkers. FMDV infection in cattle significantly decreased serum total proteins and calcium, and increased cardiac biomarkers (cTnI, CK-MB), indicating myocardial cell damage.
