“…Phylogenetic and sequencing analyses demonstrated that serotype O, EA-3 topotype, VP1 is the prevalent serotype responsible for FMDV lesions and high mortality in Egypt’s young calves, adult cattle, and water buffalo [ 16 ]. Status of Botswana from 2006 to 2022: SAT2 topotypes I, II, and III and SAT1 topotype I were responsible for most outbreaks in livestock, including buffaloes [ 17 ]. In Egypt, the emerging FMDV serotype A, the Europe-South America (Euro-SA) topotype, was recently detected during severe outbreaks that affected several farms, with higher mortalities in water buffalo than in cattle [ 18 ].…”

The water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) has great adaptability to rustic environments and more variable conditions than cattle, who generally share the habitat. Diseases carried by buffaloes are relatively unknown and ignored and could be transmissible; an imbalance occurs between pathogens, environment, and susceptible hosts, generating a severe animal health problem. Also relevant is the effect of climate change on the populations of vectors that transmit viral diseases. The discovery of new virus variants that can pass from bovine (Bos) to buffalo or vice versa or to humans has highlighted the relevance of viruses crossing the host barrier. This review discusses the clinical viral diseases most reported in the water buffalo, characteristics, epidemiology, and recent findings about disease behavior, interaction with other species, the host, vectors, and pathogens. Diseases reviewed include Foot and Mouth Disease, Rinderpest, Malignant Catarrhal Fever, Infectious Bovine Rhinotracheitis, Bovine Viral Diarrhea, and Rabies. Also, vector-borne diseases include Lumpy Skin Disease, Ephemeral Fever, and Blue Tongue. The review also considers emerging viruses such as Buffalo Pox and Schmallenberg and, finally, other viruses such as papillomatosis. The knowledge and epidemiology of buffalo viral diseases must be constantly reconsidered and updated for adequate prevention and control programs.

African Swine Fever (ASF) is a viral, hemorrhagic disease of swine that is reportable to the World Organisation for Animal Health. Since 2007, ASF has been expanding globally and caused severe disruption to the global swine industry. In 2021, ASF was detected in the Dominican Republic, prompting an emergency response from local and international officials. Nearly three years later, ASF is still present in the country despite control efforts. This study used data from January 2023-March 2024 from government-mandated sampling of commercial farms, a newly initiated active surveillance program of backyard farms, and passive reports to provide a comprehensive and descriptive assessment of ASF in the Dominican Republic. The attack rate for each region was calculated, and the reproductive ratio (R0) was estimated using the doubling time method. ASF continues to be distributed throughout the Dominican Republic with lower attack rates in central regions and R0 nearing 1. These results suggest that ASF in the country is reaching a stable state that does not resemble an epidemic situation. This may suggest the need to change from an approach of emergency response to one of sustained and progressive control, ultimately for the long-term goal of ASF eradication in the Dominican Republic.
