The study found no evidence of FMDV transmission to free-ranging roe deer in Germany adjacent to the 2001 outbreak area in The Netherlands.
Mouchantat et al. (2005) conducted a cross-sectional in Foot-and-mouth disease (n=223). Proximity to 2001 FMDV outbreak area vs. Northern Germany (Schleswig-Holstein) was evaluated on Antibodies against foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV). Free-ranging roe deer living in parts of Germany adjacent to the 2001 foot-and-mouth disease outbreak in The Netherlands tested completely negative (0%) for FMDV antibodies.
