- Abstract
ABSTRACT: Foot and Mouth Disease is an endemic disease and three serotypes(A, O, Asia-1) are prevalent in Pakistan. The present study shows the frequency of Foot and Mouth Disease Virus(FMDV) serotypes(A, O, Asia-1) in Punjab Province of Pakistan by using antigenic Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay(ELISA). This study was conducted from 2014-2019 by using a total of 184 epithelial samples from field. Out of 184 samples, 106 samples showed positive results. Out of three serotypes, serotype "A' was the most prevalent(39.62%) followed by serotype "O'(33.96%) while the least prevalent was serotype Asia-1(26.41%). It was marked that no other serotype of FMD reported during this study. This study also described the year wise prevalence of three prevailing FMD serotypes(A, O, Asia-1). During year 2014, the serotype "A' was more prevalent(95.83%) followed by serotype "Asia-1'(4.16%) while no case of serotype "O' was found. During year 2015, the prevalence trend was almost the same as in 2014. In this year, serotype "A' was 55.55% while serotype "Asia-1' 37.03% followed by the least prevalent serotype "O' as 7.40%. During year 2016, 19 positive cases were reported from which the maximum prevalence was serotype "O' and "Asia-1'(42.10%) followed by serotype "A'(15.78%) as least prevalent. During year 2017, the positive cases for FMD increased remarkably i.e. 29 in number. This year serotype "O' was highest in number with prevalence 75.86%, and serotype "Asia-1' 20.68% whereas only one case reported for serotype "A' with only 3.44% prevalence. During year 2018 and 2019, only 7 cases described with no evident case of serotype "A'. During these two years 4 cases of serotype "O' were observed followed by 3 cases of serotype "Asia-1'.
