Implication

Molecular epidemiological study reveals multiple foot-and-mouth disease virus serotypes in livestock, highlighting the need for targeted regional control strategies.

Key Points

Foot-and-mouth disease virus outbreaks revealed circulating serotypes A, O, and SAT1, aligning with the Africa Topotype G-I, EA-2, and Topotype I lineages.
Shared identity reached 92.0% to 100.0% across type O nucleotide sequences, while type SAT1 field strains demonstrated 96.9% to 98.8% similarity.
Phylogeny analysis of the VP1 coding region aligned field sequences with GenBank data, supporting improved future strategies for national disease control.
