Aftolimor

Aftolimor is a veterinary vaccine developed and manufactured by LIMOR (Laboratorios Limor de Colombia) for the prevention and control of foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) in cattle. It is an inactivated viral vaccine designed to elicit a protective immune response against the Foot-and-Mouth Disease Virus (FMDV), specifically targeting serotypes common in the Andean region, such as serotypes O and A. The vaccine is typically administered as part of mandatory national vaccination campaigns to maintain FMD-free status in livestock populations. It is formulated with an oil-based adjuvant to enhance immunogenicity and provide sustained protection. Aftolimor is a critical component of the livestock health infrastructure in Colombia, where it is used to protect cattle from the highly contagious FMDV, which can have significant economic impacts on the agricultural sector.
