Abstract
Foot and mouth disease (FMD) is the most contagious disease of mammals and has a great potential for causing severe economic loss in susceptible cloven-hoofed animals. Egypt has a long history of occurrence of FMDV outbreaks, as the country is dependent on importation of live animals and meat from many countries all over the world. The present study was designed for detection, isolation and molecular characterization of FMDV circulating among different regions in Behaira governorate. Thirty-eight tissue samples were collected from clinically diseased cattle and buffalo from different localities of Beheira governorate. Direct detection of FMDV using ELISA revealed that 84.2% of the samples were positive. Molecular characterization showed that 24 samples (75%) were positive for serotype O and eight samples (25%) were positive for serotype SAT2. This indicates the predominance of serotype O FMDV in Behira, Egypt.

Key words: Foot and mouth disease virus; Animals; Beheira; Serotype O, Serotype SAT2
