Key result
This review highlights the need for new reference reagents for foot and mouth disease to reduce diagnostic bias, provide bio-safe controls, and harmonize post-vaccination serology across laboratories.
Why the study?
Important gaps remain in the availability of international standard reagents for comparative purposes and the calibration of diagnostic test results across different laboratories.

Reference panels should be integrated into livestock assay validation now; extends OIE standards while leaving optimal global harmonization open.
Consensus and coordination among OIE Reference Laboratories to develop standardized reference panels are essential to improve the accuracy and comparability of diagnostic tests and vaccine evaluations for foot and mouth disease.
Ludi et al. (2021) conducted a review in Foot and mouth disease. This review highlights the need for new reference reagents for foot and mouth disease to reduce diagnostic bias, provide bio-safe controls, and harmonize post-vaccination serology across laboratories.
