During January to December 2003, seroepidemiological study on Foot and Mouth Disease Virus was carried on cattle. Agar Gel Immunodiffusion (AGID) was used to determine antibody against viral infection associated antigen (VIA) and ELISA test kits were use to determine antibody against 3 ABC and 3B non structural protein in 1,721 serum samples from cattle raised in Southern Thailand. Results revealed that 74 (4.30 percent) samples were positive against viral infection associated antigen (VIA), 92 (5.35 percent) samples were positive against 3ABC non structural protein and 39 (2.27 percent) samples were positive against 3B non structural protein. Measure of Agreement of Cohen's Kappa followed by SPSS version 10 program indicated that all tests were moderate agreement to substantial agreement level (kappa value 0.34-0.41, p LT 0.001).
