Abstract

This report describes a case of foot and mouth disease (FMD) in farm-raised Sika deer. FMD serotype A occurred in six cattle farms in January 2010 since the outbreak of pig cases 2002 in South Korea. In addition to the six cattle farms where the disease occurred during January, positive reactions to FMD antibodies were found in two heads of deer on March at a deer farm in serological tests intended to lift the movement restriction of the susceptible animals imposed within risk zone. In the specimens collected from 12 heads for confirmatory tests in the same farm, no virus was detected in antigen tests and neutralising antibody titers in all raising deer in the farm were relatively high. So it seems likely that the animals had been infected with FMD at least one month earlier when they were found.
