Abstract

Following the use of vaccination to control an outbreak of FMD, herds which have been exposed to infection can be identified by testing animals for the presence of antibody to the non-structural (NS) proteins of the virus. Pen-side tests for NS protein serology would be a useful adjunct to laboratory based methods. Tests for mucosal antibodies in oral and oesophageal fluids can further help to detect infected animals within vaccinated herds. To detect evidence of virus persistence on a herd basis it is necessary to establish the sampling intensity required.
