| dc.description.abstract | A cross sectional study was conducted on serum from 39 counties in Kenya in
order to determine the
prevalence of
foot
and
mouth
disease in bovine species.
The study util

(
FMD
)
lab
oratory including
Somali Ecosystem Rinderpest Eradication Coordination Unit
(
SERECU
)
project collected in th
e year 2010
.
From the serology results, the national prevalence of foot
and mouth disease in bovines was 52.5%
(CI
=
95
)
.
Of the 3709 samples subjected to
Nonstructural
protein (NSP)
enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (
ELISA
)
screening test, 1
,
947 of
those were
interpreted as positive representing 52.5%
(1947/3709)
while the other 1
,
762 samples turned negative
representing 47.5%
(n
=
1
,
762).
There was significant association between seropositivity and age
groups (p
=
0.002) and vaccination status (p
=
0.048) but no association between the seropositivity and
sex (p
=
