Key result
The first pig-isolated foot-and-mouth disease virus type O genome from Bangladesh revealed potential 5' UTR serotypic recombination, an intact 3A region, and VP1 antigenic heterogeneity.
This study documents the first complete genome sequence of pig-isolated foot-and-mouth disease virus type O in Bangladesh, revealing unique genetic features including potential serotypic recombination.
Highlights need for vigilant FMD monitoring in Bangladesh; leaves open recombination's impact on serotype dynamics and control.
In this article, we document the first pig-isolated complete genome sequence of foot-and-mouth disease virus type O in Bangladesh. The complete viral genome revealed a potential serotypic recombination at the 5' untranslated region (UTR). Conventional amino acid deletion was lacking in 3A region, and antigenic heterogeneity to circulatory type O existed within the VP1 region.
