Article Abstract

In December 2014, a novel foot and mouth disease (FMD) virus was introduced to a pig farm in South Korea, despite the animals being vaccinated. A marginal antigenic matching between the novel and vaccine strains potentially led to the infection of the vaccinated animals. To understand the impact of using an FMD vaccine on the transmission dynamics of an unmatched field strain, simulation models were employed using daily reported data on clinical cases from the farm. The results of this study indicated that immunisation with the FMD vaccine reduced the shedding of the novel FMD virus in pigs. However, there was no evidence to suggest that the immunisation had a significant effect in reducing the development of clinical signs. These findings highlight that the use of an unmatched FMD vaccine can confound the outbreak by altering the disease dynamics of the novel virus. Based on this study, we emphasise the importance of continuous testing to ensure antigenic matching between the circulating strains and the vaccine pool.

The Sultanate of Oman boasts remarkable biodiversity, exemplified by such species as the Arabian leopard () and the Arabian oryx (), national symbols that highlight the extensive conservation efforts required to protect the country's natural heritage. During decades, Omani authorities have taken significant measures to safeguard wildlife and preserve the natural environment. A sanctuary dedicated to the reintroduction of the Arabian Oryx, after extinction in nature in 1972, was established in 1980 in the Al Wusta Governorate under the patronage of the Royal Diwan and currently administrated by the recently established Environment Authority.

Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is one of the most significant animal diseases globally, affecting over 60 susceptible species including camelids particularly Bactrian camels. In order to gather baseline evidence on the current status of FMD in Indian camels, a preliminary random serosurvey was conducted in camels of Rajasthan state with significant camel population. A total of 777 sera collected from one-humped dromedary camels () across 11 districts of Rajasthan during 2016-2017 were screened for FMD virus (FMDV) 3ABC nonstructural protein (NSP)-antibodies using the commercial PrioCHECK FMDV NS kit.

Following the trajectories of vaccines against foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) in France and Britain up to the 1960s, this paper will show how vaccine efficacy has two meanings: 1) technical - or - which refers to test protocols and regimes of evidence, and 2) practical - or - which refers to the experience various actors have of diseases and their direct or indirect impacts on society and the economy, as well as on representations and imaginaries they share about diseases, vaccines, and vaccination. The assessment protocols in the two countries are analysed to show how these two meanings are deeply intertwined and influence the different public policies chosen by each country. Although statistically assessed, the efficacy of the same vaccines appears situated, depending not only on regimes of evidence but also on the reality of agricultural practices, on national stock exchanges, and on various imaginaries about animal health and the absence of disease that differ between and within countries.

Foot-and-mouth disease is an important transboundary animal disease with a significant economic impact. The high mutation rate of the foot-and-mouth disease virus leads to the emergence of new genotypes, which necessitate the detection, identification and surveillance of FMD. The current study was conducted to detect and characterize the circulating FMD viruses in Iran between November 2019 and September 2023, based on the VP1 sequence analysis.

Foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) serotype Asia 1 has not been reported in Southeast Asia, China and Mongolia between 2018 and 2024, despite the endemicity of FMD in this region and the continued circulation of serotype Asia 1 in South Asia. While vaccines against Asia 1 are still occasionally used in this region, it is unknown whether the absence of reports indicates true disease freedom or surveillance gaps. This study aimed to estimate the sensitivity of existing passive surveillance systems, and the probability of regional freedom from serotype Asia 1 across eight countries using the scenario tree approach.
