Abstract
Foot-and-Mouth Disease (FMD) remains a significant threat to global livestock health, necessitating rapid and accurate diagnostic tools for effective disease management. This study focuses on the diagnostic validation and technology dissemination of a novel diagnostic kit designed for the detection of FMD. The field evaluation phase assessed the diagnostic kit's performance under real-world conditions, considering challenges such as varying climates, diverse livestock populations, and different sample matrices. Data on the kit's performance were collected across multiple field sites, allowing for a robust understanding of its efficacy in diverse scenarios. this study presents a comprehensive approach to the development, validation, and dissemination of a diagnostic kit for FMD. The successful integration of laboratory validation and field evaluations underscores the practicality and reliability of the diagnostic tool, making it a valuable asset in global efforts to control and manage Foot-and-Mouth Disease.
