Abstract

Foot-and-mouth disease (Coxsackievirus) is a serious infection that affects animals such as sheep, goats, and cattle. The study was conducted from 1st February to 1st July 2024 / in Baquba district. The results showed that the prevalence rate of Coxsackievirus infections was the highest 11 (73.3) in the age group (1-9) years. The Anti-Human Coxsackievirus IgM showed a variance value of (52.315) with highly significant changes (P<0.01). The Anti-Human Coxsackievirus IgG showed a variance value of (20.603) with highly significant change (P<0.01). The Anti-Sheep Coxsackievirus IgM showed a variance value of (29.687) with highly significant changes (P<0.01). The Anti-sheep Coxsackievirus IgG showed a variance value of (39.479) with highly significant change (P<0.01). Furthermore, the Anti-Goat Coxsackievirus IgM showed a variance value of (21.429) with highly significant change (P<0.01), and the Anti-Goat Coxsackievirus IgG showed a variance value of (26.613) with highly significant change. The results also showed a weak negative correlation (r=1, -.011, .142) between the human Coxsackievirus and (sheep, goat) Coxsackievirus type in regard to IgM levels respectively, and these correlations were non-significant (p= 0,.507, .954) respectively. The results of this study reported a weak positive correlation (r=.126, .310, -.014 ) between the levels of Human-IgG Coxsackievirus and (Sheep, Goats) IgG respectively (P=..507, .954, .940), with statistically non-significant differences. The Anti-Cattle Coxsackievirus IgM concentration was 0.0% and Specificity 43.3% at a Cut-off <1.62, but he Anti- sheep concentration IgG was 0.0% and Specificity 43.3% in Cut-off <0.96. In addition, the Anti- Goat Coxsackievirus IgM concentration was 0.0% and Specificity 36.7% at Cut-off <1.22, and the Anti- Goat concentration IgG concentration was 0.0% and Specificity 10.0% at a Cut off <0.61.
