Abstract

This report describes a case of foot and mouth disease (FMD) in farm-raised Sika deer. FMD serotype A occurred in six cattle farms in January 2010 since the outbreak of pig cases 2002 in South Korea. In addition to the six cattle farms where the disease occurred during January, positive reactions to FMD antibodies were found in two heads of deer on March at a deer farm in serological tests intended to lift the movement restriction of the susceptible animals imposed within risk zone. In the specimens collected from 12 heads for confirmatory tests in the same farm, no virus was detected in antigen tests and neutralising antibody titers in all raising deer in the farm were relatively high. So it seems likely that the animals had been infected with FMD at least one month earlier when they were found.

2010년초 국내 구제역 발생에서 사슴에서 구제역 A형 감염 사례를 확인하였다. 2002년 O형 구제역이 돼지에서 발생된 이후에 8년만인 2010년 1월에 처음 소에서 A형 구제역이 발생된 이후 6농가에서 발생하였고, 같은 해 3월 발생농가 주변 이동제한 해제를 위한 사슴 항체검사에서 2마리의 사슴에서 구제역 항체양성을 확인하였다. 추가적으로 동일농장에 사육중인 12두에 대한 추가 검사에서 구제역바이러스는 검출되지 않았으며, 비교적 높은 구제역A형에 대한 중화항체가 검출되었다. 그 이후 구제역 A형에 대한 추가 발생은 없었다.
