Résumé : Introduction Eradication of foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is the main objective of the South East Asia China Foot-and-Mouth Disease (SEACFMD) campaign led by the OIE. In Cambodia, the disease is endemic but because of under-reporting and/or under-detection there is a lack of accurate data to inform the development of realistic and affordable control strategies. Materials and methods Participatory epidemiology (PE) combined with a serological survey in 51 villages of Svay Rieng province allowed us to: i) apply a two-source capture-recapture (CR) methodology to estimate the number of villages that experienced clinical cases in the province in 2009, and ii) assess the knowledge and the perception of FMD by farmers. Results Using the two-source CR analysis, we estimated that 315 [95% Confidence Interval (CI) 117-514] villages were clinically affected by FMD in 2009 in Svay Rieng province, leading to a village level annual incidence rate of about 46% [CI 17-74]. Within infected villages, the average animal level incidence rate was evaluated by proportional piling at 12% [Min-Max 2-46]. Interviews with farmers showed that even though FMD was ranked second in their list of priority diseases, farmers didn't see any benefit of reporting it since it entailed only low direct losses. Sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values of PE were estimated with a Bayesian method for assessing the performances of multiple tests in the absence of gold standard at 87%, 30%, 51% and 74%, respectively. Discussion The PE was useful to better understand the economic drivers of FMD management by farmers in a rice-livestock system. Moreover, associated with the serological survey and introduced in a CR methodology, PE provided an estimation of the importance of FMD endemicity. We conclude that PE and CR are effective methods that could be used in several stages of the Progressive Control Pathway developed by FAO/OIE, to assess FMD epidemiological situation and improve farmers' involvement in countries with reduced surveillance system.
