“…However, among wildlife species, only the African buffalo has been identified as a long-term maintenance host [74]. Small ruminants are highly susceptible to FMDV infection, but they are not as efficient as cattle in maintaining the infection within the population [11]. Years of experience with FMD in southern Africa have been unable to reveal small ruminants as an important part of the maintenance or transmission of the disease [75].…”

“…CCPP is caused by the bacterium Mycoplasma capricolum subsp. capripneumoniae (Mccp) [10], FMD is caused by foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) [11], and BT is caused by bluetongue virus (BTV) and is spread by the vector Culicoides mosquitos [12]. Infection with bovine viral diarrhoea virus (BVDV), or the closely related border disease virus (BDV), is generally not considered a differential diagnosis of PPR as these viruses mostly cause reproductive disease in small ruminants [13–15].…”

Introduction: Livestock husbandry is critical for food security and poverty reduction in a low-income country like Tanzania. Infectious disease is one of the major constraints reducing the productivity in this sector. Peste des petits ruminants (PPR) is one of the most important diseases affecting small ruminants, but other infectious diseases may also be present. Objective: The objective of this study was to determine the seroprevalence and risk factors for exposure to PPR, contagious caprine pleuropneumonia (CCPP), foot-and-mouth disease (FMD), bluetongue (BT), and bovine viral diarrhoea (BVD) in sheep and goats in Tanzania. Methods: Serum samples were collected in 2014 and 2015, and analysed using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays to detect antibodies to the five pathogens. Results and discussion: This is the first description of seroprevalence of FMD and BT among small ruminants in Tanzania. Risk factor analysis identified sex (female) (OR for 2014: PPR: 2.49, CCPP: 3.11, FMD: 2.98, BT: 12.4, OR for 2015: PPR: 14.1, CCPP: 1.10, FMD: 2.67, BT: 1.90, BVD: 4.73) and increasing age (>2 years) (OR for 2014: PPR: 14.9, CCPP: 2.34, FMD: 7.52, BT: 126, OR for 2015: PPR: 8.13, CCPP: 1.11, FMD: 2.98, BT: 7.83, BVD: 4.74) as risk factors for exposure to these diseases.

“…W przypadku bydła typowe objawy kliniczne obserwuje się zarówno w jamie ustnej, jak i na racicach, podczas gdy u świń widoczne są przede wszystkim na racicach. U owiec objawy kliniczne nie występują lub są słabo wyrażone (17). Ponadto inne choroby wirusowe, takie jak: choroba pęcherzykowa świń (swine vesicular disease -SVD), pęcherzykowe zapalenie jamy ustnej (vesicular stomatitis -VS) oraz wysypka pęcherzykowa (vesicular exanthema -VES) charakteryzują się podobnymi do pryszczycy objawami, dlatego w celu precyzyjnego odróżnienia pryszczycy od innych chorób pęche-rzowych niezbędna jest szczegółowa laboratoryjna diagnostyka różnicowa (15).…”

SummaryFoot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV), in contrast to the antigen used for the production of FMD vaccine, can replicate in animals. As a result of infection the specific antibody to the viral structural proteins (SPs) and non-structural proteins (NSPs) of FMDV are synthesized. The laboratory diagnostic methods based on individual NSPs, e.g. 3D, 2C and 2B, as well as polypeptides, such as 3AB and 3ABC can be used for differentiation of infected and vaccinated animals (DIVA). This article presents the aim, principle, methods and results of applying DIVA strategy in the eradication of foot-and-mouth disease. The marker vaccines which enable differentiation between infected and vaccinated animals and appropriate ELISA serological tests for detection of antibodies to the NSPs of FMDV have been described. DIVA strategy makes it possible to reduce the economic losses and restore possibilities of international trade in animals and animal products. This strategy may be an alternative of the administrative "stamping-out" eradication method. The essential aim of DIVA strategy is realization of the so-called "vaccinate-to-live" policy, which is based on the principle that vaccinated animals exposed to FMDV will not transmit the virus. These animals are not epidemiologically risky, and therefore do not have to be eliminated. It is necessary to develop new vaccines and improve those already used as well as the application of reliable diagnostic tests to detect FMDV in vaccinated livestock populations.

“…In sheep and goats, the disease is generally mild and is important mainly because of the risk of transmission to cattle and can be difficult to distinguish from other common conditions [41,46].The more common syndrome in this species is the appearance of a few small lesions, but with a more severe involvement of all four feet. The principal mechanism of transmission is the respiratory route [41,47] or by ingestion through direct or indirect contact with secretions or excretions from infected animals; however, the possibility of aerogenous infection exists between cloven-hoofed species [48].…”

Schmallenberg virus (SBV) is a novel Orthobunyavirus causing mild clinical signs in cows and malformations in aborted and neonatal ruminants in Europe. SBV belongs to the family Bunyaviridae and is transmitted by biting midges. This new virus was identified for the first time in the blood samples of cows in the city of Schmallenberg in NorthRhine-Westphalia in November 2011. Since then the virus spread to several European countries. Here we describe the origin and emergence, as well as the transmission and the differential diagnosis of this virus, now known to be a serious threat to Veterinary Public Health.
