Key result
uRT-PCR detects FMDV in ~88% of suspected cattle, identifying circulating serotypes Asia-1, O, and A.
Why the study?
Foot and mouth disease is endemic in Bangladesh and causes huge economic losses, but the prevalence and molecular detection of FMDV serotypes in crossbred cattle in Rajbari district were not determined.
Cross-Sectional (n=16)

Supports local trivalent FMD vaccination in Rajbari; leaves open need for regional surveillance and vaccine efficacy trials.
Islam et al. (2021) conducted a cross-sectional in Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) (n=16). Foot and Mouth Disease Virus (FMDV) infection was evaluated on Detection rate of FMDV by uRT-PCR. The detection rate of FMDV by uRT-PCR in clinically suspected crossbred cattle was 87.5%, with serotypes Asia-1, O, and A actively circulating in the Rajbari district.
