Key result
Researchers isolate two near-complete foot-and-mouth disease virus genomes from Kenyan bovine outbreaks.
Why the study?
Full-genome sequences of foot-and-mouth disease virus serotype O from Kenya were needed to improve the understanding of regional molecular epidemiology.
This report provides the first near-complete genome sequences of FMDV serotype O from Kenya, which is critical for understanding regional molecular epidemiology.
Supplies first Kenyan FMDV O reference genomes; extends regional molecular epidemiology resources for surveillance.
This is the first report of two near-complete genome sequences of foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) serotype O from Kenya. The viruses were isolated from bovine epithelium collected in 2014 and 2016 from local FMD outbreaks. These full-genome sequences are critical for improving the understanding of regional FMDV molecular epidemiology.
