This study was carried out to determine the current state of foot and mouth disease (FMD) in different animal species in Sharkia governorate in Egypt. In addition, we investigated the spreading of the virus through water and soil in the animal environment as well as by rodents. The isolation rates of FMD virus in tissue culture were 39.6%, 11.4%, 41.2% and 100% for cattle, buffalo, sheep and goat respectively. All animals did not show any clinical signs for FMD. In addition, the virus was isolated from the milk of an animal as well as from a water sample while all soil samples were negative.
本研究旨在确定埃及 Sharkia 省不同动物物种中的口蹄疫(FMD)现状。此外,我们还研究了病毒在动物环境中的水和土壤中以及通过啮齿动物传播的情况。口蹄疫病毒在组织培养中的分离率分别为牛、水牛、绵羊和山羊的 39.6%、11.4%、41.2%和 100%。所有动物均未出现口蹄疫临床症状。此外,病毒从动物的奶中以及水样中分离出来,而所有土壤样本均为阴性。
