Abstract Background Foot-and-mouth disease FMD is endemic in Pakistan and causes huge economic losses. This work focus on the Landhi Dairy Colony LDC located in the suburbs of Karachi. LDC is the largest Buffalo colony in the world with more than 300 000 animals around 95 buffaloes and 5 cattle as well as an unknown number of sheep and goats . Each month from April 2006 to April 2007 we collected mouth-swabs from apparently healthy buffaloes and cattle applying a convenient sampling based on a two-stage random sampling scheme in conjunction with participatory information from each .
