An outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease damaged the North-Benin during the 1990-1991 dry season (November to May). Coming from outside the Benin, it spread out very quickly in the country essentially because of trans-humant herds. No measures have been taken to limit this sickness which is endemic and which regularly exhibits outbreaks in Benin. Antibodies to types A, O and SAT2 of the foot-and-mouth disease virus were detected in the sera during this outbreak.
