Foot-and-Mouth Disease (FMD) remains one of the most contagious viral diseases affecting cattle, buffalo, sheep, goats, and pigs. The disease causes significant economic losses through reduced milk production, poor weight gain, trade restrictions, and large-scale outbreak control measures.

Rapid identification of the infecting Foot-and-Mouth Disease Virus (FMDV) serotype is essential for disease surveillance, epidemiological investigations, and vaccination planning.

To address this challenge, Retro Biotech & Research Pvt. Ltd. has developed the ANIDX™ Foot-and-Mouth Disease Virus Serotype Detection Kit, a multiplex Real-Time RT-PCR solution designed for veterinary research laboratories.

Why Serotype Identification Matters

Unlike many viral diseases, FMDV exists as multiple immunologically distinct serotypes, including:

• Serotype O
• Serotype A
• Serotype Asia 1
• Serotype SAT 1
• Serotype SAT 2
• Serotype SAT 3
• Serotype C (historical surveillance)

Because immunity against one serotype generally does not protect against another, accurate molecular serotyping is essential for outbreak monitoring and vaccine selection.

ANIDX™ FMDV Serotype Detection Kit

The ANIDX™ kit is designed to simultaneously detect multiple FMDV serotypes using multiplex Real-Time RT-PCR.

Key Features

• Simultaneous detection of seven important FMDV serotypes
• Multiplex Real-Time RT-PCR workflow
• Internal and Exogenous Controls for assay validation
• High analytical specificity
• Optimized for veterinary research laboratories
• Compatible with standard Real-Time PCR instruments
• Designed for disease surveillance and molecular epidemiology

Serotypes Covered

The kit detects:

• FMDV Serotype O
• FMDV Serotype A
• FMDV Serotype Asia 1
• FMDV Serotype SAT 1
• FMDV Serotype SAT 2
• FMDV Serotype SAT 3
• FMDV Serotype C

Applications

The ANIDX™ FMDV Serotype Detection Kit is suitable for:

• Veterinary diagnostic laboratories
• Animal disease surveillance programs
• Research institutes
• Veterinary universities
• Livestock health monitoring
• Reference laboratories
• Epidemiological investigations
• Vaccine monitoring studies

Benefits of Multiplex PCR

Compared with running multiple individual PCR reactions, multiplex Real-Time PCR offers several advantages:

• Faster turnaround time
• Reduced reagent consumption
• Lower laboratory costs
• Higher throughput
• Simplified workflow
• Improved laboratory efficiency

Designed for Global Veterinary Surveillance

Although FMD epidemiology varies between regions, surveillance programs increasingly require broad serotype coverage.

The ANIDX™ kit includes major circulating serotypes found across Asia and Africa, making it suitable for veterinary research and surveillance applications in countries where Foot-and-Mouth Disease remains endemic.
