Abstract
Aim:
This study was conducted to determine the seroprevalence and
distribution of foot and mouth disease virus (FMDV) infection in
pigs from Zuru, Kebbi State, Nigeria.
Materials and Methods: Cross-sectional serological surveys
were conducted between May and December 2013 using the
immunochromatography assay technique. Structured questionnaires
were administered to households identified at pig rearing areas to
obtain the population structures and some information on
managemental practices.
Results: A total number of 849 pigs were enumerated at 37 pigs
rearing households. Tudun wada had the largest concentration of
pigs (237 pigs), while Dabai has the least (38 pigs). A total of
250 blood samples were collected, of which 45 (18%) were positive;
Zango has the highest seroprevalence (1.6%), while Dabai recorded
the least (0.4%). Based on sex and age, the infection was higher
in female (10.4%) and young pigs (11.6%) than male (7.6%) and
adult pigs (6.4%), respectively. There was no significant (p>0.05)
association between infection and pig rearing areas, sex, and age.
Furthermore, none of the 250 pigs examined for classical FMDV
lesions was positive.
Conclusion: The results of this study showed that FMD is an
important disease of pigs in the study areas. This result
justifies the need for more attention and subsequent molecular
study to identify the circulating FMDV in the area, which will
help in the implementation of effective control measures.
Keywords: foot-and-mouth disease virus,
immunochromatography, Nigeria, pigs, seroprevalence.
