Incidence of foot and mouth disease at polyclinics of SKUAST-Kashmir

Abstract

:The incidence of FMD was studied at the polyclinics of SKUAST Kashmir during 1997-2002. A total of 10870 cases were presented at the polyclinics during the reported period. 570 cases were affected with the disease i.e. 5.24 per cent cases of FMD were present. Lowest incidence was recorded during the year 1998-99 (0.58%) while highest incidence of 19.6 per cent was recorded in the year 2000-01. Season wise highest incidence was reported during summer and species wise cattle were found to be highly susceptible.

Foot and mouth disease prevalence in cattle and buffaloes from India determined by systematic review and meta-analysis

“…O, A, C, Asia-1, SAT-1, SAT-2, and SAT-3 (Domingo et al 2003). Within each of these serotypes, however, there are a number of immunologically and serologically distinct sub types with varying degrees of virulence, and the virus appears to be capable of infinite mutations, resulting in the appearance of new, antigenically different sub types (Akhoon et al 2015).…”
