Foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) serotype SAT 2 (Southern African Territories 2) is a highly contagious viral serotype that affects cloven-hoofed animals, including cattle, pigs, sheep, and goats. Infection can cause fever, fluid-filled blisters in the mouth and on the feet, excessive salivation, lameness, and reduced milk production, resulting in significant economic losses. SAT 2 is primarily associated with Africa but has also spread to other regions, highlighting the importance of effective disease surveillance. Rapid and accurate serotype-specific molecular detection supports virus identification, outbreak monitoring, and timely implementation of control measures to help protect livestock health.
