May explain mild FMDV pathogenicity in cattle; leaves open whether VP2/VP3 substitutions drive virulence in natural hosts.
The presence of a low-virulence small plaque variant at the early passage stage may explain the mild pathogenicity of the FMDV O/JPN/2000 strain in infected cattle.
Morioka et al. (2008) studied this question.
