“…Montassier et al, (1994) developed a coagulation "COA" test for the detection and typing of foot and mouth disease virus FMDV depending on its simplicity; rapidity of performance and its low cost, having a great potential for direct detection and identification of FMDV as screening strategy at FMDV outbreaks in agreement with Montassier et al (1994) and Saad et al (2000). In addition, Omnia et al (2015) concluded that SPA is safe; easy to be used, high stable, highly sensitive, can be used as rapid field test, of low cost having friendly environmental relationship. Depending on the obtained results and in agreement with Nielsen et al (2004); it could be concluded that Staphylocoocus aureus Cowan strain is among a group of bacteria that produce protein with capacity attach to immune globulin molecules of various species aiding to rapid detection of bacterial and viral antigens and antibodies in order to reach rapid control of FMD facing different live stocks.…”

Considering rapid accurate detection of FMD virus antigens and antibodies is an essential corner stone in the epidemiological studies; Staphylococcal protein-A (SPA) was successfully prepared and used for application of rapid agglutination test (RAT) on both of processed infected tongue epithelium and infected cell culture fluid for detection of FMD virus antigens using reference viruses and anti-sera. It was found that the traditional virus neutralization test (VNT) consuming long time (18-24 hours) and RAT with the shortest time (2-5 minutes) were able to detect the antigens of FMDV type O; A and SAT2 with titer ranged from ≤ log10 up to 7log10 TCID50/ml. In addition, RAT carried on serum samples obtained from vaccinated animals revealed positive results with titers similar to those obtained by serum neutralization test (SNT) ranged from ≤ 2 up to 256 for the three virus types with shorter time (2-5 minutes) than that consumed by SNT (18-24 hours). It was noticed that high antigen or antibody titers showed strong agglutination while weak agglutination was noticed with lower titers. So it could be concluded that the present work provides a rapid; sensitive and accurate test to detect FMDV antigens and antibodies as safe; easy to be used, highly sensitive, rapid field test, of low cost and having friendly environmental relationship. Key word: Foot and mouth disease (FMD); Staph protein A (SPA); Rapid agglutination test (RAT).
