In 2 separate experiments the blood-feeding fly Haematobia thirouxi potans (Bezzi) failed to transmit foot-and-mouth disease virus when transferred from viraemic (log 2,6-log 4,3 MLD50 or TCID50/ml) to susceptible cattle. Each experiment involved 2 susceptible and 2 viraemic animals housed in separate stables and 2,000-4,000 flies of which most had fed on viraemic hosts 120 min prior to transfer. Furthermore, only minimal quantities of virus were isolated from free-living flies captured on experimentally infected buffalo (Syncerus caffer) in the acute stages of infection.
在两项独立实验中，吸血蝇种嗜兽血蝇（Haematobia thirouxi potans (Bezzi)）从感染病毒（病毒滴度为每毫升2.6至4.3对数LD50或TCID50）的动物转移至易感牛时，未能传播口蹄疫病毒。每项实验包括分别饲养在不同畜舍中的2头易感动物和2头感染病毒的动物，以及2000至4000只蝇，其中大部分在转移前120分钟已吸食过感染病毒的宿主血液。此外，在感染急性期，从实验感染的水牛（非洲水牛，Syncerus caffer）身上捕获的自由生活的蝇中，仅分离出极少量病毒。
