Key result
Molecular sequencing of FMDV samples revealed at least three separate incursions into the UK and a linear nucleotide substitution rate of 2.42x10^-5 substitutions/site/day during the epidemic.
Observational (n=19)
Yes
Molecular sequencing of historical FMDV samples revealed multiple independent incursions into the UK and provided evidence of viral evolutional dormancy outside a host.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Alerts to repeated FMDV incursions needing vigilant surveillance; leaves open mechanisms of viral persistence between outbreaks.
Wright et al. (2013) conducted an observational in Foot-and-mouth disease (n=19). Molecular sequencing was evaluated on Nucleotide substitution rate. Molecular sequencing of FMDV samples revealed at least three separate incursions into the UK and a linear nucleotide substitution rate of 2.42x10^-5 substitutions/site/day during the epidemic.
