Key result

Foot and mouth disease affects ~90% of surveyed villages, with vaccination limited by abortion fears.

  • n=60

Why the study?

Foot and mouth disease (FMD) is common in northern Thailand villages, but vaccination coverage and control measures vary and are not well characterized.

Population

60 villages in northern Thailand

Comparison

Vaccinated versus unvaccinated animals in villages

Design

Questionnaire survey cross-sectional study

Discussion

Member takes

Implication

High FMD prevalence and vaccination barriers in Thai villages may warrant targeted education; leaves open optimal control strategies.

Study Design

Type

Cross-Sectional (n=60)

Structured PICO

P
Population
60 villages in northern Thailand surveyed to assess the prevalence, impact, and vaccination control of foot and mouth disease over a 5-year period.
E
Exposure
Questionnaire survey of foot and mouth disease (FMD) and FMD control by vaccination
O
Outcome
FMD prevalence, outbreak characteristics, and vaccination practices

FMD is highly prevalent in northern Thailand villages, and vaccination coverage needs to be significantly increased for effective control.

Limitations

  • Purposive sampling biased towards villages with a known positive attitude towards Government livestock programmes, potentially underestimating FMD incidence.

Cite This Study

Cleland et al. (1995) conducted a cross-sectional in Foot and mouth disease (FMD) (n=60). Foot and mouth disease (FMD) outbreaks and vaccination practices was evaluated on Villages reporting one or more outbreaks of FMD in the five years prior to interview. Foot and mouth disease was highly prevalent, with 90% of surveyed villages reporting at least one outbreak in the previous five years, while vaccination coverage was hindered by fears of vaccine-induced abortion.
