Key result
RT-PCR successfully detected FMDV serotype O in up to 64.67% of tongue epithelium samples and 30.67% of foot samples from suspected cattle, confirming its active circulation in Bangladesh.
Why the study?
Foot and mouth disease affects domestic and wild animals causing significant financial losses to the livestock sector, prompting isolation, documentation, and serotyping of circulating viruses.
Population
Tongue epithelium and foot tissue samples from different locations

Supports FMDV O surveillance in Bangladeshi cattle; leaves open needs for vaccine matching and longitudinal monitoring.
RT-PCR successfully detected and serotyped FMD virus type O from tissue samples and confirmed its adaptation in BHK-21 cell lines.
Ullah et al. (2023) studied Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) (n=600). Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) was evaluated on Detection rate of FMDV serotype O. RT-PCR successfully detected FMDV serotype O in up to 64.67% of tongue epithelium samples and 30.67% of foot samples from suspected cattle, confirming its active circulation in Bangladesh.
