FMD serotypes O, SAT 1, and SAT 2 are circulating in Tanzania with distinct geographical distributions, informing veterinary disease control efforts.
Swai et al. (2009) conducted an observational in Foot and mouth disease (FMD) (n=150). Foot and mouth disease virus was evaluated on FMD virus serotypes detected.
