Identification of agent: foot and mouth disease (FMD) virus serotype O.
Date of first confirmation of the event: 8 October 2005.
Date of start of the event: 26 September 2005.
1. State of Mato Grosso do Sul:
No new outbreaks have been registered in the State of Mato Grosso do Sul.
A total of 57,520 FMD-susceptible animals (26,553 cattle, 396 pigs and 571 sheep and goats) have been culled. There have been no reports of cases in species other than bovines. Ninety-two farmers whose herds were destroyed have received compensation amounting to a total of 8,501,479 Brazilian reals (approximately 3,759,220 USD).
The municipalities remaining under a ban (Eldorado, Iguatemi, Itaquiraí, Japorã and Mundo Novo) are still prohibiting the movement of FMD-susceptible animals and their products and by-products.
2. State of Paraná:
An outbreak was reported in an establishment situated in the municipality of São Sebastião da Amoreira in the State of Paraná (23º 28’ 53’’ S - 50º 42’ 13’’ W), based on the criteria in Article 2.2.10.1. of the Terrestrial Animal Health Code, on account of the presence of antibodies against non-structural proteins of the FMD virus having been detected and there being an epidemiological link with an FMD virus having been detected and there being an epidemiological link with FMD outbreak (see Follow-up report No. 12). The establishment, which has 1,772 fattening cattle for rearing and breeding, remains under a ban.
The other suspect establishments (see Follow-up report No. 5 and Follow-up report No. 7), located in the municipalities of Loanda, Amaporã, Grandes Rios and Maringá, continue to be under a ban, as well as properties situated within a 10-km radius, where vaccination is prohibited. An establishment located in the municipality of Bela Vista, which received animals from an outbreak in the municipality of Eldorado in the State of Mato Grosso do Sul, is also under a ban. These establishments are undergoing a serological investigation for the detection of non-structural proteins, since the attempts at viral isolation were completed.
Animal movement control is being maintained in the State of Paraná, with the establishment of control posts and the application of biosafety measures. To date, no suspected cases of vesicular disease have been reported in other establishments.
Final report: no.
