Implication

First molecular FMDV data from Tanzania; extends East African lineage mapping but leaves open transmission dynamics and control needs.

Structured PICO

Population

44 foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) isolates (serotypes O, A, SAT 1 and SAT 2) recovered from outbreaks in Tanzania between 1967 and 2009

Intervention

Molecular characterization including VP1 nucleotide sequencing and phylogenetic reconstructions

Outcome

Genetic relationship and topotype classification of the FMDV isolates

This first molecular description of FMDV in Tanzania reveals that circulating viruses are genetically related to East African lineages, suggesting animal movements contribute to virus dispersal.
