Abstract
The Onderstepoort Journal of Veterinary Research (OJVR), is the official publication of the Onderstepoort Veterinary Institute. It publishes scientific papers reporting original research on diseases and disease vectors of livestock and wildlife with a focus on Africa, but with results of more than local interest.
Highlights
The aim of this study was to investigate the serotype and determine the genetic relationships of FMD virus (FMDV) recovered from animals in Tanzania, Zambia and Mozambique, and compare them with viruses detected from elsewhere in the subSaharan region
The overall FMDV genome detection rate was 6.7% (n = 10), with SAT 1 being the most frequent serotype (60%; n = 6) isolated in cattle and buffaloes in Mozambique, Tanzania and Zambia followed by SAT 3 (30%; n = 3) and SAT 2 (10%; n = 1)
This study reveals that serotypes SAT 1–3 are maintained in cattle and buffaloes in livestock-wildlife interface areas in Marromeu, Katavi, and Lochinvar National Parks
