Key Points

  • To investigate the association of Foot-and-Mouth Disease virus with vascular tissue in African buffalo.
  • Immunohistochemical detection of viral antigen
  • Assessment in carrier African buffalo
  • Comparison with PCR sensitivity
  • Novel association of viral antigen with vascular tissue
  • Potential for superior sensitivity over PCR
  • Need for validation and repeatability in assays

Abstract

The results revealed a novel association of viral antigen with vascular tissue and demonstrated the potential for superior sensitivity over PCR. Further research is needed to validate this assay, prove repeatability and clarify how carriers contribute to disease persistence and transmission.
