Key result

VP1 sequencing of FMDV type A isolates from Egyptian cattle and buffaloes revealed 94.9-97.1% identity to Iranian strains, suggesting evolution from FMDV circulating in Iran.

Overview

May inform regional FMDV surveillance in Egypt; leaves open direct transmission routes from Iran.

Study Design

Type

Observational (n=82)

Multicenter

Yes

Structured PICO

Population

82 pooled samples from cattle and buffaloes in 4 Egyptian governorates collected between March 2013 and December 2014.

Exposure

Isolation and genetic characterization (RT-PCR, ELISA, sequencing)

Outcome

Genetic characterization and phylogenetic relationship of FMDV type A isolates

FMDV type A circulating in Eastern Egypt between 2013 and 2014 is closely related to Iranian strains, which is important for formulating effective control strategies.

Elshahidy et al. (2015) conducted an observational in Foot-and-Mouth Disease (n=82). FMDV type A was evaluated on VP1 sequence identity to other strains. VP1 sequencing of FMDV type A isolates from Egyptian cattle and buffaloes revealed 94.9-97.1% identity to Iranian strains, suggesting evolution from FMDV circulating in Iran.
