Provides novel genome sequences of FMDV SAT 1 topotype X from Cameroon, updating knowledge of FMDV diversity in Central Africa.
Should not yet change FMD control practice; extends SAT 1 topotype X sequence resources and leaves open regional outbreak links.
We report the genomes of four foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) serotype SAT 1 topotype X isolates from Cameroon. The viruses were isolated from bovine epithelium collected during an outbreak in 2016. These novel sequences update knowledge of FMDV diversity in Central Africa and contribute to regional FMDV molecular epidemiology.
