FMD virus carrier water buffalos experimentally infected with the virus strain OIEGY/93 were detected by virus isolation in tissue cultures, inoculation of Swiss baby mice and RT-PCR. They were penned with susceptible FMDV livestock for about three months. However, clinical findings and sera-conversion of the in-housed animals did not reveal any aspects of FMDV transmission to them UR - http://nile.enal.sci.eg/EALE/2007/ZVJ/3507/4/7.pdf ER -
