“…Another study in Ethiopia reported an average duration of milk loss for 33 days in the MCL production system (Jemberu et al, ), which agrees with the finding of the current study in the commercial dairy farms, but higher than in the MCL production system. The average duration of milk loss in the current study was close to the report from Bangladesh (Chowdhury et al, ), where the period of illness for FMD‐affected cattle varied from 16 to 26 days (average 22.7 days). However, the milk drop may continue for several months after the outbreak and some cows may totally not return to normal production after clinical recovery.…”

“…The 35.7% animal level morbidity of sheep and goats in the infected herds reported in this study was higher than the morbidity of 4.8% reported in Bangladesh (Chowdhury, Rahman, Rahman, & Rahman, 1993) in sheep and goats. Given the mild nature of the clinical signs of FMD-infected sheep and goats that can be easily missed (OIE, 2013), the current observed morbidity can be considered high indicating that the disease could be clinically important for small ruminants as well.…”

“…A similar reduction of 51.8% to the present finding was reported in Pakistan (Ferrari, Tasciotti, Khan, & Kiani, ). Elsewhere in the world, higher milk yield reduction of 66% in Bangladesh (Chowdhury et al, ), 65% in Kenya (Lyons et al ., 20l5) and 62.3% in South Sudan (Barasa et al, ) were reported from previous works.…”

Foot and mouth disease (FMD), a highly contagious and economically important disease of cloven‐hoofed animals, is endemic in Ethiopia. Foot and mouth disease outbreak investigation and follow‐up studies were undertaken to identify the causative serotype, determine the morbidity and mortality, and estimate the economic impact of the outbreaks in selected districts of Northwest Ethiopia. The serotype of FMD virus involved in the outbreaks was identified by antigen detection ELISA from clinical samples. Morbidity, mortality and economic impact of the outbreaks were assessed based on data collected from 738 smallholder farmers in a mixed crop‐livestock (MCL) production system and from five dairy farms in the commercial dairy production system. The outbreaks were confirmed to be due to FMD virus serotype O. The animal level morbidity in clinically affected cattle herds was 68.1% for MCL production system and 54.5% for commercial dairy farms. The mortality in cattle in the MCL system was 0.4% and no mortality was recorded in the commercial dairy farms. The animal level morbidity in sheep and goats in the infected flocks was 35.7% but no mortality was seen in these species. The herd/flock level morbidity of FMD in outbreak affected kebeles of MCL system was 57.2% for cattle and 8% for sheep and goats. The economic losses due to milk loss, draught power loss, mortality and treatment cost were on average USD 34 (interquartile range: 9.4–44.4) per affected herd in the MCL system and this was statistically significantly lower than the USD 459.1 (interquartile range: 400.0–486.2) per affected farm in the commercial dairy farms (p < .05). These economic losses have significant impact in the livelihood and income of affected farmers in both production systems. Future work should focus on the implementation of control measures that mitigate the economic impact of the disease.

“…FMD is one of the major threats for the development of livestock population in Bangladesh (Rahman et al, 2011). Outbreak of FMD causes severe economic losses to the livestock industries in terms of loss of draft power, meat and milk production, infant and adult animal mortality (Chowdhury et al, 1993;Zinnah et al, 2010;. Annual loss due to FMD in Bangladesh has been estimated at about US$62 million (FAO/OIE, 2012).…”

RT-PCR based detection and adaptation of foot and mouth disease virus serotype A in BHK-21 cell line

The economic consequences of an outbreak of Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) in Bangladesh is devastating. A sensitive, reliable and rapid diagnosis is crucial for the effective control of FMD. The present research was conducted for quick molecular detection and adaptation of FMD virus (FMDV) in BHK-21 (Baby Hamster Kidney) cell line. A two-step RT-PCR method was applied for the detection of the FMDV. Without prior adaption into BHK-21 cell culture, it is difficult to detect FMDV directly from the field samples by RT-PCR method. Samples were collected from the tongue epithelium (N=19) and inter digital tissues (N=4) of the suspected animals in Sujanagar, Bera, Santhia of Pabna district and Kotowali, Trishal of Mymensingh districts of Bangladesh during the year 2014. BHK-21 cell subculture was done from a previously cultured bottle containing BHK-21 cells. Prepared inocula were inoculated into BHK-21 cell culture and incubated at 37ºC for 24 h. After 36 h, cytopathic effects (CPE) were observed in BHK-21 cell line characterized by rounding and flattening of the cells, multinucleated giant cells formation, breaking down of the intracellular bridges and finally cell death indicated the presence of FMDV. Clear infectious BHK-21 cell culture fluid was collected and preserved at -20ºC temperature for virus detection by RT-PCR with serotype specific primers. Viral RNA was extracted from the clear infectious cell culture fluid for cDNA synthesis and used for PCR. Out of 23 samples tested, 3(13.04%) were positive for FMDV serotype A. The findings of this study can be helpful for the selection of vaccine having specific FMDV type, and it may help in controlling FMD in Bangladesh.Progressive Agriculture 27 (1): 64-69, 2016

“…Outbreak of this disease causes severe economic losses to the livestock industries in terms of loss of draft power, meat and milk production, infant and adult animal mortality (Belsham and Bøtner, 2015;Chowdhury et al, 1993;Zinnah et al, 2010). An investigation was carried out by Chowdhury et al, 1993 in Bangladesh and their findings was, the morbidity due to FMD in cattle around 35.5%, in buffaloes 23.3% and in sheep 4.8%, and mortality rate, especially in calves, had been found to be about 50.9% in outbreak areas. In Bangladesh annual loss due to FMD has been estimated at about US $125 million per year (Sil and Taimur, 2000).…”

Clinical detection of Foot and Mouth Disease in the cattle which study was carried out in Kapasia upazila under Gazipur district during from February 2011 to January 2012 and identifying the potential risk factors associated with the studies in Kapasia, Gazipur. A total of 315 infected cattle of different age, sex were examined in the upazila veterinary development center of Kapasia in Gazipur district. Total 86 (27.30%) cattle were infected with FMD on the basis of clinico-epidemiological determinants. The effect of season, Breed, Age, and sex of cattle on the incidence of the disease was discussed. It was observed that rural farming system (30.43%) was more susceptible than intensive farming (21.30%) system of cattle. Old animals (33.15%) were more susceptible than adult (21.81%) and young (15.71%). The prevalence of disease was found significantly (P < 0.05) higher in male (33.65%) than in female (24.17%). It was observed that local breed cattle (35.48%) were more susceptible than cross-breed cattle (15.50%). Seasonal variation of the disease was significant in the study area. The infection was less in summer (11.63%) and increasing in rainy season (25.58%) but gradually increased in late period of winter season (62.80%). This report will help to prioritize and control strategies against Foot and Mouth diseases from Kapasia upazila at Gazipur District in Bangladesh.
