Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is the highly contagious disease of cloven-hoofed animal that brings considerable economic losses to the animal husbandry. So FMD surveillance which relying on accurate diagnosis is important. Most producing the diagnostic antigen of inactivated FMD virus (FMDV) requires facilities with high biosafety. In our previous studies, virus-like particles(VLPs) resembled the structures of natural virus particles. Here, we established a competitive ELISA (cELISA) method for the detection of antibodies against serotype A FMDV based on serotype A FMDV-VLPs. Via detecting different positive serum and negative serum with different titers, and comparing with different commercial ELISA kits. The specificity and sensitivity of the assay were 100 % and 98 %, respectively. The coincidence rate using the PrioCHECK® FMDV Type A antibody ELISA kit and Liquid-phase blocking (LPB) ELISA were 95.30 % and 92.2 %. Repetitive experiments showed that variation coefficient of intra-batch and inter-batch were less than 9 % and 13 %. The result demonstrated that cELISA based on VLPs from prokaryotic system is highly specific, sensitive and reproducible. The cELISA could also be used to assess the immune responses of serotype A FMDV, especially in developing countries.

Neutralizing antibodies provide vital protection against foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV). The virus neutralization test (VNT) is a gold standard method for the detection of neutralizing antibodies. However, its application is limited due to the requirement for live virus and unsuitability for large-scale serological surveillance.

He devised quantitative methods for measuring neutralising antibodies and perfected a complement fixation test for the diagnosis, typing and strain differentiation of foot and mouth disease (FMD), especially when combined with neutralisation. He identified four of the seven types of FMD virus (FMDV) and many subtypes.

Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is a highly contagious transboundary disease prevalent across the Asian continent, affecting both wild and domestic artiodactyls. The disease is caused by a virus belonging to the Aphthovirus genus of the Picornaviridae family which is categorized into seven serotypes: C, O, A, SAT1, SAT2, SAT3, and Asia1. The virus spreads through direct and indirect contact, including semen, meat, fomites, ingestion, and aerosols.

Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is known for its highly contagious properties among cloven-hoofed animals resulting in significant morbidity rates. Incursions of this disease have caused significant losses in affected countries in Southeast Asia and Africa, even within EU countries which resulted in significant financial losses. This study is aimed at addressing existing limitations by creating a diagnostic method using aptamer-based assay.
