Abstract :
Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is a
transboundary animal disease that has negative socioeconomic consequences including impacts on trade and
food security. A retrospective study on the outbreaks
and suspected case of FMD in Mozambique, between
the years 2010 and 2020, based on the data collected
through passive surveillance, was undertaken. A total of
1,680 positives cases of FMD were reported as a result
of outbreaks and suspected occurrence cases in 45 out
of 50 districts analyzed in 9 provinces of the country.
The overall prevalence of FMD was 10.7%
(1,680/15,661). A significant difference (p˂0.01) between
the years were observed in the period analyzed. Spatial
distribution showed that, there is a significant
difference between districts (p˂0.01, df=1, OR=0.120).
Analysis showed that districts in the southern region
are more prone to FMD (75.3%; 1,265/1,680) than those
in the center (22%; 370/1,680) and north regions (2.6%;
45/1,680). The temporal pattern indicates a higher
number of FMD cases in the dry seasons (72.7%; 95%
IC: 68.9% – 76.5%) than in the rainy seasons (27.3%
95% IC: 23.2% – 31.4%). A significant difference on
FMD seasonality was observed during the period (pvalue=0.001, df=1, OR=1.214). The spatial distribution
of the FMD cases suggested that serotype SAT 2 was the
only widespread cause of the outbreaks in Mozambique,
although SAT 3 serotype was detected in central part of
the country.
