Key result
Foot and Mouth Disease linked to ~2% overall case fatality, with higher mortality in calves.
Why the study?
The study aimed to investigate an outbreak of Foot and Mouth Disease virus in cattle in southern Bangladesh with isolation, identification, and molecular characterization of FMDV.

The study identified FMDV serotypes Asia-1 and O in a cattle outbreak in Bangladesh, with a high case fatality rate in calves and genetic links to isolates from India and Myanmar.
Ali et al. (2019) conducted an observational in Foot and Mouth Disease (n=15,580). Foot and Mouth Disease virus exposure was evaluated on Case fatality rate. An outbreak investigation of Foot and Mouth Disease virus in 15,580 cattle revealed an overall case fatality rate of 2.27%, with significantly higher mortality in calves compared to adults.
