Description: Fiscal Year: 2018-2019 (Completed) Livestock diseases and disorders of animals are the most important hindrance towards livestock development in our country. The most common infectious diseases of cattle are: anthrax, black quarter (black-leg), foot and mouth disease, rabies, pox, brucellosis, tetanus, listeriosis etc. Among them FMD is the most important one. Objectives: The objectives were to determine the overall seroprevalence of FMD in cattle, Molecular characterization of circulating FMD virus and evaluate the efficacy of drugs against secondary bacterial infection in cattle. Methods: A total of 184 blood serum samples were randomly collected from cattle according to their age, sex, breed and pregnancy and 10 clinical samples (tongue epithelium) from infected cattle for examination. The samples were brought at Foot and Mouth Disease Research Laboratory, BLRI, Savar, Dhaka to observe the seroprevalence of FMD by indirect ELISA and determine different types of FMD by RT-PCR and infected animal were treated with different antibiotic for drug efficacy against secondary bacterial infection. Results: ELISA based screening of serum samples revealed that overall seroprevalence of Foot and Mouth Disease in cattle of the studied areas was 24.56%. The seroprevalence of FMD in female cattle (25.83%) was non-significantly (p> 0.05) higher than the male (21.86%). Above 4 year age group showed significantly (p<0.05) higher seroprevalence 31.43% of FMD than 2-4 years (29.55%) and 1 year- 2 years (14.29%) age group. Local cattle were more seropositive 28.57% for FMD compared to cross bred cattle (21.93 %) and this variation was not statistically significant (p>0.05). Seroprevalence of FMD in pregnant cattle 44.83% was non-significantly (p>0.05) higher than non-pregnant 28.1%. Among 10 clinical samples of FMD from infected cattle, 8 samples were positive for different serotypes by one set of universal primer (P32:P33) of which 2 was identified as serotype ‘Asia-1’ and 2 were identified as serotype A and 4 samples were identified as mixed infection (1 sample of serotype O+A, 3 samples of O+Asia-1) by mRT-PCR. In this study on therapeutic intervention sulphadimidine significantly (p<0.05) reduces the clinical signs of FMD than Gentamycin and Ampicillin. Conclusion: The higher seroprevalence of disease has substantial economic implications which signify the need for devising effective control measure. However, detection of ‘O’, Asia-1and ‘A’ serotype emphasizes the critical need for use of trivalent vaccine in the field. All antibacterial drugs under the study were effective for controlling the secondary bacterial infection in FMD cases.
