Abstract :
The immunity to one FMD serotype does not confer immunity to other serotypes, so vaccines that used currently in our country does not immune animals against SAT-2 virus.
Serotype SAT-2, topotype 14 has entered the Middle East region in December 2022 and officially confirmed in Iraq in January 2023.
On the 8th of March, in the northeast of Turkey, on the border with Armenia, in the region of Agdir, Iğdır/Tuzluca/Merkez, in an epidemiological unit with 21 cows, the first report of the disease was detected in Turkey.
SAT-2 virus also in Bahrein and Oman are detected after occurrences of this strain in Turkey.
The SAT-2 virus has not had occurred in Iran form beginning of emerging until December 2023.
