Supports regional FMDV surveillance; leaves open whether antigenic mismatch warrants vaccine reformulation.
Observational
Yes
A new strain of foot-and-mouth disease virus (A-Iran-05) has emerged and spread widely across the Middle East, highlighting the need for continued surveillance and updated vaccine matching.
Knowles et al. (2009) conducted an observational in Foot-and-mouth disease. A-Iran-05 strain of FMDV vs. A-Iran-96 and A-Iran-99 strains was evaluated on Spread and antigenic characteristics of FMDV type A. The A-Iran-05 lineage of foot-and-mouth disease virus type A has spread across the Middle East and Central Asia, replacing previous strains and showing antigenic differences from A-Iran-96.
