Key result
Phylogenetic analysis of viral protein 1 nucleotide sequences indicated that foot-and-mouth disease serotype A and O viruses causing recent outbreaks in eastern Asia originated in mainland Southeast Asia.
Observational
FMD outbreaks in Japan and South Korea were traced back to viruses endemic to mainland Southeast Asia.
Supports enhanced regional surveillance in mainland Southeast Asia; leaves open transmission routes for prospective genomic studies.
Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) outbreaks recently affected 2 countries (Japan and South Korea) in eastern Asia that were free of FMD without vaccination. Analysis of viral protein 1 nucleotide sequences indicated that FMD serotype A and O viruses that caused these outbreaks originated in mainland Southeast Asia to which these viruses are endemic.

Knowles et al. (2012) conducted an observational in Foot-and-Mouth Disease. FMDV serotype A and O lineages was evaluated on Phylogenetic origin of FMDV isolates based on viral protein 1 (VP1) nucleotide sequences. Phylogenetic analysis of viral protein 1 nucleotide sequences indicated that foot-and-mouth disease serotype A and O viruses causing recent outbreaks in eastern Asia originated in mainland Southeast Asia.
