Specifically-designed questionnaires were distributed to the managers and/or veterinarians of all dairy farms in Saudi Arabia in order to obtain data on the occurrence of foot and mouth disease (FMD) on these farms from 1971 to 1989, as well as data on current control measures. Of 39 farms, 27 responded to the questionnaire and 15 (56%) reported FMD outbreaks. Notification and collection of samples for diagnosis were not performed consistently. Laboratory tests were undertaken at the World Reference Laboratory for Foot and Mouth Disease, Pirbright, United Kingdom. FMD virus serotypes O, A and C were isolated. Epizootiological factors contributing to the occurrence of FMD in Saudi dairy farms and recommendations for improving control of the disease are discussed in depth.
为获取沙特阿拉伯所有奶牛场1971年至1989年口蹄疫（FMD）的发病情况以及当前防控措施的数据，向这些奶牛场的管理人员和/或兽医发放了专门设计的调查问卷。在39个农场中，27个回复了问卷，其中15个（56%）报告有口蹄疫疫情爆发。口蹄疫诊断样本的通报和采集工作并未始终如一地开展。实验室检测在英国皮尔布赖特世界口蹄疫参考实验室进行。分离出了口蹄疫病毒O、A和C型。深入讨论了导致沙特奶牛场口蹄疫发生的流行病学因素以及改善该病防控的建议。
