  abstract = {{M}any pathogens have the capacity to infect multiple hosts. {M}ulti-species epidemiological systems are characterized by populations that interact and perform different functions in pathogen transmission and maintenance. {T}his study investigated the epidemiological dynamics of foot-and-mouth disease ({FMD}) virus in cattle and goats and their respective functions in disease circulation within sympatric livestock populations adjacent to wildlife areas in {Z}imbabwe. {T}hrough year-long longitudinal serological monitoring, the spatial distributions of {FMD} antibodies and associated risk factors were examined. {T}he results revealed significantly greater {FMDV} seroprevalence in cattle than in goats, with serostatus in cattle being influenced by proximity to wildlife areas. {I}n contrast, goats presented a lower seroprevalence, less variation among age groups, and no association with proximity to protected areas. {O}n the other hand, clustering analysis indicated the absence of clustering of seropositive individuals at the herd scale, suggesting low levels of virus transmission between animals belonging to the same herd in both species. {T}hese findings highlight the significance of context-dependent interactions among hosts, particularly with wildlife. {T}his study emphasizes the necessity of comprehensive surveillance and strain identification across multiple sympatric species, both wild and domestic, for the effective management of multi-host pathogens. {I}n conclusion, this research contributes to understanding the complex dynamics of {FMD} transmission in rural areas in {Z}imbabwe and emphasizes the importance of tailored surveillance strategies in diverse ecological settings.},
