dc.descriptionRecommendations: 1-Prohibition of live ruminant animals' importation from African countries, where FMD is enzootic. 2-Serological screening of the live ruminant animals at Djibouti quarantine before exportation for excluding of all seropositive (infected or carrier) cases. 3-Improving the import control, including quarantine, at Islamic Jeddah port. 4-Vaccination of non-infected and non-carrier ruminants in the country of origin at least 3 weeks before export to Saudi Arabia, using a polyvalent vaccine incorporating FMD virus strains which can stimulate protection against Saudi field strains. 5-Serological testing of random and reprehensive samples at Islamic Jeddah quarantine to ensure vaccination of the imported live animals. 6-Establishment of a national project for the intensive production of sheep as an alternative to importation with a production capacity of about 1-2 million head per year. 7-Application of all recommendations of the Terrestrial Animal Health Code of the OIE (World organisation for animal health) for international movements of live animals (60). 8-Further studies for typing and characterization of any FMDV exotic toptypes and annual reporting of FMD molecular epidemiology in Saudi Arabia were also recommended.en_US
dc.description.abstractMillions of live ruminants are imported annually for slaughter in Saudi Arabia. The majority of these animals are imported shortly before the pilgrimage season from Sudan and horn of Africa, where Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) is known to be enzootic. The current work intended to investigate the impact of importation of these live ruminants on the epizootiology of FMD in Saudi Arabia. A total of 480 sheep and 233 cattle from the sacrifice livestock yards of the Saudi project for utilization of Scarified animals’ meat in the Holy city of Makkah were investigated during the Pilgrimage season 1433 H (24-29 October, 2012). Investigated sheep were showing no apparent clinical evidence of FMD and included 260 from Sawakani breed (imported from Sudan) and 220 from Barbari breed (imported from horn of Africa) that were randomly selected from different houses of the yard. On the other hand, all investigated cattle were of African origin and included 58 cattle with suspected clinical evidence of FMD and 175 cattle without apparent symptoms that were selected from the contact animals of the suspected ones. Blood samples were collected from all investigated animals and separated sera were used for serological testing for FMD virus-specific antibodies using indirect enzyme linked immune sorbent assay (3ABC FMD ELISA). The results revealed an over all of 136 (28.3%) animals out of the 480 tested sheep were serologically positive for FMD. This included 17.7% among Sawakani sheep and 40.9% among Barbari ones. In cattle, 120 (51.5%) out of 233 investigated animals were positive for FMD virus antibodies. The 120 serologically positive cattle included all suspected cattle with apparent clinical symptoms and 62 (35.4%) of symptoms free-contact cattle. In conclusion, the findings of the current study denote the imminent risk of the annual importation of live ruminants from enzootic areas shortly before the Pilgrimage seasons. The risk involves the introduction of new exotic FMDV serotypes especially with the imported carrier or subclinically-infected animals. Understanding of the epidemiology of different strains and ability to track their move between geographic regions is essential for the development of efficient control strategies for the disease. Therefore, genotyping of isolated FMDV strains from imported and local animals is highly recommended and currently ongoing.en_US
