Diversity of SAT2 foot-and-mouth disease virus in Sudan: implication for diagnosis and control

Veterinary Research Communications, 2022
Like other East African countries, Sudan experienced circulation of more than one topotype of SAT2 foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV). In Sudan, topotype XIII of SAT2 virus was recorded in 1977 and 2008 and topotype VII in 2007, 2010, 2013, 2014 and 2017. This work evaluated the impact of such diversity on diagnosis and control.

Use of the Chainchecker application: Uganda’s experience during the 2022 Sudan Virus Disease outbreak [PDF]

PLOS Global Public Health
On September 20, 2022, the Uganda Ministry of Health declared an outbreak of Sudan Virus Disease (SVD). As the outbreak grew, it became imperative to quickly visualize and analyze chains of disease transmission. Determining epidemiological links between cases is critical for outbreak control as incorrect linkages may result in missed case detection and
