- Abstract
ABSTRACT: During 2014-2019, 109 suspected samples for FMD were received at ELISA Lab Foot and Mouth Disease Center(FandMDRC) Lahore, Pakistan. These samples were collected from Lahore and Kasur districts of Punjab, Pakistan. The prevalence trend of three serotypes(A, O, Asia-1) was checked through antigenic Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay(ELISA). From the processed field samples; 71 samples were detected positive for serotype A, O and Asia-1. Out of the positive samples the most prevalent was serotype "A'(57.74%) followed by serotype Asia-1(29.57%) and the least prevalent was serotype "O'(12.67%). The serotype "A' was more prevalent in Lahore(82.92%) as compared to Kasur(17.07%). For the period of 2014-2015, no case of serotype "O' was reported from district Kasur, whereas 9 cases were reported from district Lahore accordingly. Out of 21 cases of Asia-1 received at ELISA Lab FMDRC, Lahore; 18 cases were from Lahore followed by 3 cases from Kasur. From 2014-2019, the prevalence of serotype A, Asia-1 and O in Kasur was 70%, 30% and 0% respectively. The trend of prevalence in Lahore was same as in Kasur with most prevalent serotype A(55.73%) followed by serotype Asia-1(29.50%) and the least prevalent was serotype O(14.75%). The only difference was that no case of serotype "O' reported in Kasur while in Lahore 9 cases were reported during the period of six years. In conclusion there are more cases of FMD reported in Lahore as compared to Kasur and prevalence from 2014-2016 is more as compared to years 2017-2019.
