This FMD NSP 3ABC antibody blocking ELISA kit is used to detect FMD nonstructure protein 3ABC specific antibody in cattle / goat / sheep / swine serum and plasma, to monitor if the animal is infected or vaccindated. It is 100% specific to FMD NSP 3ABC. The sensitivity is over 95%.
Foot and mouth disease (FMD) is a severe, highly contagious viral disease of livestock that has a significant economic impact. The disease affects cattle, swine, sheep, goats and other cloven-hoofed ruminants. Intensively reared animals are more susceptible to the disease than traditional breeds. The disease is rarely fatal in adult animals, but there is often high mortality in young animals due to myocarditis or, when the dam is infected by the disease, lack of milk.
FMD is characterised by fever and blister-like sores on the tongue and lips, in the mouth, on the teats and between the hooves. The disease causes severe production losses, and while the majority of affected animals recover, the disease often leaves them weakened and debilitated.
The disease may be suspected based on clinical signs. However, FMD cannot be differentiated clinically from other vesicular diseases, such as swine vesicular disease, vesicular stomatitis, and vesicular exanthema. Confirmation of any suspected FMD case through laboratory tests is therefore a matter of urgency.
