Transmission of foot and mouth disease at the wildlife/livestock interface of the Kruger National Park, South Africa: Can the risk be mitigated?

Abstract: 15.2 Highlights  Since 2000, the efficacy of foot and mouth disease control at the interface between cattle and buffaloes at the edge of the Kruger National Park has deteriorated and needs urgent improvement.  This quantitative risk assessment allowing to model the risk of FMD virus transmission between cattle and buffaloes at the edge of the KNP is based on ecological and epidemiological data and fits with past and current numbers of outbreaks.  Including variability and uncertainty this model could be use… Show more

“…Previous studies of FMDV in the South African Development Community (SADC) attempted to assess the role of African buffalo in the epidemiology of FMDV and its transmission to domestic cattle at the wildlife–livestock interface by different approaches ( Thomson et al, 1992 , 2003 ; Jori et al, 2009 ; Brahmbhatt et al, 2011 ; Miguel et al, 2013 ; Jori and Etter, 2016 ). Although wildlife plays an important role in maintaining FMDV strains and occasional transmission to livestock and other wildlife species occur, some SAT viruses can also be maintained within livestock populations in countries where the disease has become endemic ( Vosloo et al, 2002 , 2009 ).…”

“…The occurrence of wildlife maintenance hosts has complicated the control of the disease especially at the wildlife/livestock/human interface where there is overlapping of territories due to encroachment of human activities into wildlife conservation areas and potential escape of wildlife from these areas [5][6][7][8]. Cross-species transmission of bTB has been documented at the wildlife/livestock interface, with wildlife maintenance hosts such as the African buffalo (Syncerus caffer) in South Africa and the Kafue lechwe antelopes (Kobus leche kafuensis) in Zambia [9][10][11].…”
