Hypothesis-generating for FMDV evolution; prospective surveillance needed before informing vaccine or control strategies.
Intertypic recombination is widespread throughout the non-structural genes of the foot-and-mouth disease virus genome.
Jackson et al. (2007) studied Foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) (n=156). Pairwise-scanning analysis was evaluated on Inter-serotype recombination fragments. Pairwise-scanning analysis of 156 FMDV isolates revealed widespread intertypic recombination throughout non-structural genes, but infrequent recombination within capsid genes.
