Abstract
The monitoring of a foot-and-mouth disease epizootic amongst impala (A epyceros melampus) in the Kruger National Park is described. Infection rates of different sex and age classes of impala within the outbreak focus were determined. Seroprevalence rates in other cloven-hoofed spe cies were also determined. RNA sequencing of a portion of the 1D gene of viruses isolated from SAT-2 viruses obtained from diseased impala s howed that they were unrelated to previous SAT-2 isolates made from an imals in the Kruger National Park.
