Schematic representation of laboratory tests for determining evidence of infection with FMDV after an outbreak in FMD-free countries with or without vaccination and FMD endemic countries. Laboratory confirmation of a presumptive diagnosis of FMD involves detection and identification of viral materials in animals' samples or presence of specific antibodies against structural proteins (SPs; presence in both vaccinated and infected animals) and specific antibodies against non-structural proteins (NSPs; presence in infected animals only) in serum samples. Diagnostic procedures for FMD can be found in the Manual of Diagnostic Tests and Vaccines for Terrestrial Animals 2019 (https://www.oie.int/standard-setting/terrestrial-manual/access-online/).
