              Abstract 
 Aim:
              Due to inadequate data on the dynamics of foot and mouth 
              disease (FMD) infection in buffalo, the present work was aimed at 
              investigating some virological and immunological aspects of FMD 
              virus (FMDV) SAT2 infection in naturally exposed and vaccinated 
              buffalo cows and their calves. 
              Materials and Methods: The study employed clinical observation 
              and examination, virus isolation in mice brain and cell culture, 
              in addition to virus detection using complement fixation test; 
              indirect sandwitch enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and 
              demonstration of RNA by reverse transcription polymerase chain 
              reaction for confirmation the results.  
              Results: FMD type SAT2 antibodies was detected in a protective 
              level by the 1st
              
              week post infection and 3rd
              
              week post vaccination and peak 
              titers were recorded by the 3rd
              
              week, 12th
              
              week in infected and vaccinated 
              buffaloes, respectively. These titers began to decline to reach 
              their lowest protective levels by the 36th
              
              week, 12nd
              
              week 
              in infected and vaccinated buffaloes respectively. The SAT2 
              antibodies in calves born to vaccinated and infected buffalo cows 
              were detected on the 1st
              
              day post parturation through the 
              suckling of their Dam’s colostrums. The highest maternal antibody 
              titers were recorded in sera by the 2nd
              
              day post parturation. These 
              antibodies declined gradually to reach their lowest protective 
              levels on14th
              
              week, 16th
              
              week post parturition in calves rom 
              vaccinated and infected buffaloes, respectively. High antibody 
              titers in the colostrums and milk of vaccinated and naturally 
              infected buffalo cows were recorded at parturition, and they began 
              to decrease gradually recording their lowest protective titers by 
              10th 
              and 12nd
              
              week post parturition 
              respectively. 
              Conclusion: FMDV serotype SAT2 was confirmed as a causative 
              agent of the suspected FMD signs in pregnant buffalo at El-Fayoum 
              Governorate, Egypt, during 2012. Vaccinated and naturally infected 
              buffalo cows were able to provide their calves with high levels of 
              maternal derived antibodies through their colostrums, which could 
              protect new born calves for not less than 14 week post parturation.
