Effect of Different Routes of Inoculation on The Pathogenicity of Fmd in Camels

- Seven. cane1s were inoculated with FMDV by different routes (l/N, I/O, I/Muce. IDL and I/V) ,using (strain 01/2/72- Egypt). the clinical response, virus persistance and sero- onveraiol1 were studied” The transmission of ]’r.mv from inf- ected cane La to3- Two susceptible calves which had been in c on tac t with the inoculated camels developed typical lesions of ]’MD with the appear-eac e oar extensive priraary and aecoaduz-y lesionfl. The FMDV was isolated fro~ the contact infected animals.4- The FMDV was isolated from the blood of camels exp- erill.e:m.tally inoculated via the I/liJ”, I/O, I/l’:Iuo. and 1DL routes between the second and sixth days post inoculation. The virus titre was considerably low ran~ed betweell 1.25 to 1.5 loglO TCID
