      abstract = {The present study was performed in the Upazila Veterinary  Hospital, Meghna, Comilla during the period from September  2006 to February 2007 to observe the prevalence of Foot and  Mouth Disease (FMD) in cattle at Meghna upazila in Comilla.  A total of 253 skin diseased cattle head were examined in  this study where 109 were males and 144 were females. The  prevalence of FMD was 24.51% at Meghna upazila. The effect  of age, sex, breed, season and farming system on the  incidence rate of the disease was discussed. Seasonal  variation on outbreak of this disease was significantly  higher. The clinical prevalence of FMD was highest in the  month of November (34.69%) and December (36.20%). The males  (35.77%) were more susceptible than females (15.97%). The  adult cattle (34.18%) were more susceptible compared to  heifer (23.43%) and young (09.72%). In breed, 39.18%  indigenous breeds and 15.38% crossed breeds were infected  by FMD. So, it could be concluded that the rural farming  system, adult, male and the indigenous cattle were more  susceptible to FMD in winter season.},
