Assay Validation To check specificity and / or cross reactivity: 7 archival samples representing the strains recorded in Egypt except A/ Africa/G-VII. BHK-21 cell culture and Epithelial tissue from FMD negative cattle and buffalo. 45 clinical and T/C samples collected from 2012 till 2016 were tested by Ag ELISA and the developed assay. - Confirmation by nucleotide sequencing of amplified products.

Conclusion & Recommendation The developed Multiplex RT-PCR assay differentiate accurately between FMDV A, O and SAT2 serotypes in Egypt and will save cost, time and effort. It is highly recommended to continuously monitor the circulating strains by nucleotide sequencing to be sure that the developed assay is fit for purpose and to detect any further changes in the circulating strains.
