Summary results of clinical status of A Malaysia 97 and SAT2 experimental animals.

Feet and mouth were checked daily for lesions up to two weeks after challenge to classify animals as clinically protected (P) or non-protected (NP). Detection of virus by either virus isolation or real time RT-PCR in probang samples collected from 28–34 days post challenge (dpc) gave an indication of oro-pharyngeal viral replication/persistence and determined the FMDV carrier status (C, carrier and NC, non-carrier).
