[Summary] A serological survey in the south of the central valley of Cochbamba, Bolivia, showed a high percentage of subclinical infection of foot-and-mouth disease in a sheep population kept in close contact with cattle that had suffered from a severe epidemic of the disease. VIA tests showed that a prevalence rate of 44 ±6% of foot-and-mouth disease existed in the cattle population (P<0.05). About 40% of the owners who stated that their sheep had not had the disease were shown to have sheep with VIA antibodies.
