Serological detection and genetic characterization of foot-and-mouth disease virus from cattle in northern sudan, 2016‑2018.

ABSTRACT: Northern Sudan is an important corridor cluster between pools of foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) in East and North Africa. It involves almost the whole border area with Egypt and represents a considerable part of a projected disease-free zone in Sudan. The study monitored FMD infection between 2016 and 2018 in Northern Sudan. Clinical and serological surveillance were carried out. Results largely confirmed previous reports that have described the relatively lower circulation of FMDV in the area than in other parts of the country. Clinical FMD was confirmed, once in the three years period, as serotype O of an unnamed lineage within the topotype East Africa 3 (EA3). Using serial testing (the ID ELISA and virus neutralization test), sero-prevalence estimates of serotype-specific antibodie
