Why the study?

Foot-and-mouth disease is a highly contagious viral disease posing significant economic threats to livestock, prompting the need to confirm its presence and identify predominant serotypes in Egyptian cattle.

Population

65 cattle showing acute FMD symptoms in Sharkia and Dakahlia provinces in 2022

Overview

Confirms FMDV circulation in Egyptian provinces; leaves open serotype-specific vaccine and control needs.

Structured PICO

P
Population
65 cattle aged 4-7 years (39 females, 26 males) showing acute FMD symptoms (vesicle formation in the mouth and foot, high fever, and inappetence) from semi-intensive farming programs in Sharkia and Dakahlia provinces, Egypt.
O
Outcome
Detection of FMDV and identification of predominant serotypes

Circulating FMDV strains in Northern Egypt show significant genetic divergence from current vaccine strains, highlighting the need for updated vaccine formulations.
