Determination of Serological Data to Understand the Epidemiology of Foot-and-mouth Disease Virus Serotypes Circulating in Libya | Chapter 01 | Innovations in Microbiology and Biotechnology Vol. 5

The third of these components, measuring the level of NSP antibodies as an indicator of previous or current FMDV infection, regardless of vaccination status, was the subject of this investigation. For nearly fifty years, outbreaks of foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) have been rare in Libya. In the spring of 2013, a nationwide serosurvey was done to determine the level of FMD viral circulation and transmission  determine the serotypes of the FMD virus in the nation A total of 4221 sera were obtained, with samples from all around the world.small ruminants (SR; samples from 357 farms) and large ruminants (LR; samples from 357 farms 141 farms were sampled). By ELISA, the FMD sero-prevalence of NSP antibodies was 19.0 percent.  (271/1428) with a 95 percent confidence interval of (16.9 - 21.0) and 13.5 percent (378/2793) with a confidence interval of (12.3 - 14.8) for LR and SR, respectively. samples, and so forth In LR, the sero-prevalence of NSP antibodies was and was age-related.  While in SR, the group year and year were respectively, and year, year, and year, correspondingly, for age groups year, year, and year. These The NSP serologic profiles revealed support the idea of endemic FMD circulation in the area. Libya. All positive samples were screened for SP antibodies against the FMD virus serotypes O, A, and SAT-2. The most common circulating serotype was serotype O, followed by serotype A, with no evidence of SAT-2. was not discovered. These findings shed light on the overall epidemiology of FMD in Libya, and contribute to field and lab investigations of serotype 0 (O/ME-SA/Ind-2001) in 2013 Clinical samples from around the country were used to isolate the lineage. in order to gain a better grasp more information about livestock production, data collection for the management system, and risk factor analysis It is necessary to conduct research. Scientists will be able to better grasp the epidemiology of the disease as a result of the findings. FMD and develop scientifically sound disease control measures to lessen the impact of FMD on people and the environment. Livestock from Libya.
