Research reveals that there are several serotypes of the virus causing foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) and the African horse sickness virus (AHSV) and several different hosts for these viruses in Ethiopia. This study also highlights the economic repercussions of these viruses and other viral diseases in domestic livestock. These findings may contribute to improved strategies for controlling and combating the spread of such diseases and to increased self-sufficiency in food.
