Next steps

  • 6 Biomarkers
  • 4 Stage Specific Response
Identify antibodies in response to FMDV infection

Research Question

What are we trying to achieve and why? What is the problem we are trying to solve?

To establish if the antibody response can be used early on in infection and in establishing the infectious status of the animal.

Research Gaps and Challenges

What are the scientific and technological challenges
(knowledge gaps needing to be addressed)?

  • Establish if the antibody response can be used early on in infection and in establishing the infectious status of the animal

Solution Routes

What approaches could/should be taken to address the research question?

Characterisation of the antibody response following infection.

Dependencies

What else needs to be done before we can solve this need?

  • Host-pathogen interaction.
  • Antigen detection.
  • FMDV genome.

Projects

What activities are planned or underway?

Practical surveillance guidelines for the progressive control of Food-and-Mouth Disease and other transboundary animal diseased
