Molecular characterization of SAT 2 foot-and-mouth disease virus from post-outbreak slaughtered animals: implications for disease control in Uganda

Balinda et al. (2009) conducted an observational in Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) (n=12). Post-outbreak FMDV exposure was evaluated on Detection of FMDV RNA in oropharyngeal tissue. Foot-and-mouth disease virus RNA of the SAT 2 serotype was detected in 75% (9 of 12) of clinically normal cattle 3 months after an outbreak, suggesting potential carrier status.
