Variable FMD vaccine performance in outbreaks, higher in youngstock, warrants age-specific caution; leaves open validation of field correlates of protection.
Observational
Yes
Analysis of field data from FMD outbreaks provides a realistic estimation of expected vaccine performance and highlights the need to validate correlates of protection in field conditions.
Lyons et al. (2017) conducted an observational in Foot-and-mouth disease. Polyvalent foot-and-mouth disease virus vaccine containing A Saudi-95 was evaluated on Incidence risk of foot-and-mouth disease. During a foot-and-mouth disease outbreak on vaccinated dairy farms, incidence risk ranged from 2.6% to 20.1% and was significantly higher among youngstock (18.7%) compared to adults (7.4%).
