Abstract
Foot and mouth disease (FMD) is an economically important disease of wild and domesticated cloven-hoofed animals and is probably the most contagious disease known to humanity, clinically the disease is characterized by high fever, anorexia, acute vesicular stomatitis, vesicular dermatitis in feet and udder, high rate of morbidities, and mortalites in new boms. It was in the top of Epizootic of OIE list (A). The complexity of the disease includes the host range of more than 33 domestic and wild cloven-hoofed animals. Although most of the countries in the European Union and in North America have controlled the disease by slaughter of infected and exposed animals, the disease is endemic to many countries of Africa, Asia, and South America.Thus using of regular prophylactic vaccination using an immuno dominant local strain of the virus is therefore practiced in many countries as a primary control measure.
The specific objectives of this study were done to investigate the seroprevalence of Foot and Mouth Disease virus(FMDV) antibodies among cattle, buffalo, sheep and goat herds in EL Dakhlia and EL Sharkia provinces using Enzyme linked Immuno Sorbant Assay (ELISA) and Serum Neutralization Test (SNT) after that comparison the recorded result and comparing the results recorded by each technique to detect animal which contains protective level of Antibody titer.
