title: [Occurence of foot-and-mouth disease in Senegal].
abstract: From December 1975 to October 1976, 13 outbreaks of foot-and-mouth disease were studied in Senegal. The virus, SAT2, identified at Pirbright, was in all probability brought from Mali or from Mauritania by transhumant animals or animals imported illegaly. The disease, which attacks bovines, evolved in its rough form without lethality. Treatment was symptomatic. Only vaccination of imported breeding stock and draught animals was decreed.
