Foot and Mouth Disease is an endemic disease and three serotypes (A, O, Asia-1) are prevalent in Pakistan. The present study shows the frequency of Foot and Mouth Disease Virus (FMDV) serotypes (A, O, Asia-1) in Punjab Province of Pakistan by using antigenic Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA). This study was conducted from 2014-2019 by using a total of 184 epithelial samples from field. Out of 184 samples, 106 samples showed positive results. Out of three serotypes, serotype „A‟ was the most prevalent (39.62%) followed by serotype „O‟ (33.96%) while the least prevalent was serotype Asia-1 (26.41%). It was marked that no other serotype of FMD reported during this study. This study also described the year wise prevalence of three prevailing FMD serotypes (A, O, Asia-1). During year 2014, the serotype „A‟ was more prevalent (95.83%) followed by serotype „Asia-1‟ (4.16%) while no case of serotype „O‟ was found. During year 2015, the prevalence trend was almost the same as in 2014. In this year, serotype „A‟ was 55.55% while serotype „Asia-1‟ 37.03% followed by the least prevalent serotype „O‟ as 7.40%. During year 2016, 19 positive cases were reported from which the maximum prevalence was serotype „O‟ and „Asia-1‟ (42.10%) followed by serotype „A‟ (15.78%) as least prevalent. During year 2017, the positive cases for FMD increased remarkably i.e. 29 in number. This year serotype „O‟ was highest in number with prevalence 75.86%, and serotype „Asia-1‟ 20.68% whereas only one case reported for serotype „A‟ with only 3.44% prevalence. During year 2018 and 2019, only 7 cases described with no evident case ofserotype „A‟. During these two years 4 cases of serotype „O‟ were observed followed by 3 cases of serotype „Asia-1‟.

In order to integrate and enhance the health of people, animals, and the environment, a multidisciplinary “One Health” concept has been coined. However, developing countries have frequently lagged in embracing this innovative vision. Pakistan’s ecology, human health, and animal health have all been severely jeopardized due to a lack of resources. Human health is significantly impacted by the spread and comeback of zoonotic illnesses, especially for people who live in rural regions and frequently interact with domestic or wild animals. More than 75% of zoonotic diseases were transmitted contiguously from animals to humans or indirectly through interactions among agents or vectors (including both humans and other animals). This review article gives critical insights into the most common zoonotic diseases found in Pakistan in addition to underlining the importance of the “One Health” philosophy in the management of these illnesses. Interdisciplinary research efforts are required given the current circumstances in order to politicize sustainable solutions for decreasing the disease burden in human and animal populations simultaneously.
