“…Vaccination coverage was increasing from were reported in all seasons but more frequently in the year to year. A higher number of LSD vaccinations were early dry (27.1%) and dry (29.4%) seasons than in the undertaken from 2012-2021 resulting in decreased short rainy (25.3%) and rainy seasons (18.2%) [30] Further research is required to know the major risk effective when a large proportion of the population is factors associated with the transmission of animal protected: usually, at least 72% of the susceptible cattle diseases and their dynamics in different woredas. need to be vaccinated [34].…”

A retrospective study was conducted from July 2022 to September 2022 at West Arsi Zone, Oromia Region, Ethiopia, to identify major reportable cattle disease outbreaks and to understand the incidence, seasonal distribution, vaccination coverage and the trend of cattle disease outbreaks using passive surveillance data (DOVAR). From 1,560 DOVAR reports expected to be obtained at West Arsi Zone Agriculture Office Epidemiology Unit between 2012 and 2021, only 1,476 (11%) reports were available. A total of 1,496 cattle disease outbreaks with 1,889 cases and 346 deaths were recorded. The outbreaks were caused by Lumpy Skin Disease (LSD) (35.7%), Blackleg (21.43%), Bovine pasteurellosis (15.71%), Foot and Mouth disease (FMD) (14.3%), Anthrax (11.42%) and Rabies (1.43%) in decreasing order. LSD was responsible for the highest cases (30.2%) followed by FMD (23.9%) while blackleg and LSD were the leading causes of cattle deaths, which accounted for 34.4% and 28.9% of the deaths recorded, respectively. In contrast, the lowest number of outbreaks, cases and deaths of cattle was caused by rabies. Disease outbreaks occurred in all the seasons of the year; however, a relatively higher number of outbreaks (60%) were recorded in the early dry season (September to November). This study has shown a very low level of disease outbreak reporting rate in the West Arsi Zone, which may be due to no reporting or no outbreak of diseases. Generally, this study generates information that will be used as a baseline for further epidemiological studies for the development of sustainable programs for the control of cattle disease outbreaks in the study area.

“…The outbreaks were caused by serotypes A, O, SAT 1, and SAT 2 [8]. Serological studies of FMD undertaken in different parts of the country reported seroprevalence ranging from 3.4-72.1% [10,11]. This indicates a lack of effectiveness in the country's control program regarding planned vaccination, the high number of susceptible animals, and biosecurity measures.…”

Background Foot and mouth disease is among the contagious transboundary and economically devastating viral diseases of cloven-hoofed animals. A cross-sectional questionnaire survey was conducted on 396 randomly selected livestock-owning farmers from three districts in central Ethiopia to estimate the willingness to pay for foot and mouth disease vaccines using a contingent valuation method based on dichotomous choice bids with double bounds. The study assessed the mean willingness to pay through interval regression and identified the influencing factors. Results The study revealed that the farmer's mean willingness to pay for a hypothetical foot and mouth disease vaccine was 37.5 Ethiopian Birr (95% confidence interval [CI]: 34.5 40.58) in all data, while it was 23.84 (95% CI: 21.47–26.28) in the mixed farming system and 64.87 Ethiopian Birr (95% CI: 58.68 71.15) in the market-oriented farming system. We identified main livelihood, management system, breed, keeping animals for profit, and foot and mouth disease impact perception score as significant variables (p ≤ 0.05) that determine the farmers' willingness to pay for the foot and mouth disease vaccine. Conclusion Farmers demonstrated a high computed willingness to pay, which can be considered an advantage in Ethiopia's foot and mouth disease vaccination program. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure sufficient vaccine supply services to meet the high demand revealed.

Foot-and-mouth disease is a highly contagious viral disease that affects cloven-hoofed wild and domestic animals and causes significant economic losses in the livestock industry. This aim of this study was to identify the circulating serotypes and determine it’s economic impact on cattle production. A a retrosepective questionnaire survey was conducted with 100 farm owners from six districts to determine the economic losses associated with foot and mouth diseases over one year. During the survy, fourteen active case epithelial tissue samples from three districts, which outbreak occure, were collected from the fourteen cattle. The collected tissue sample detected using real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The foot and mouth diseases serotype O, A, SAT1, and SAT2 were identified using a sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. In addition questionnaire survey data revealed that the average economic loss was 5553.21ETB (132.21$USA) per herd and 1124.13ETB (26.76$USA) per individual animal. The present investigation indicated that still foot and mouth disease outbreaks occurred in different areas of the northwestern Amhara region, and the economic impact of the disease is extremely severe, resulting in massive economic losses. Therefore, it is recommended that further studies on the epidemiology, vaccine trials, and socioeconomic consequences should be conducted to design appropriate control options.
