Key result
Sequencing foot-and-mouth disease virus from subclinical Asian buffalo yields 19 nearly full isolate genomes.
Why the study?
Foot-and-mouth disease virus genome sequences from subclinically infected animals are rare and complement the more commonly available sequences from clinical cases.
Provides rare genome sequences of foot-and-mouth disease virus from subclinically infected Asian buffalo to complement sequences from clinical cases.
Augments FMDV genomic surveillance resources from subclinical buffalo; leaves open implications for outbreak prediction or control strategies.
We report the nearly full genome sequences of 14 isolates of serotype A foot-and-mouth disease virus and 5 isolates of serotype O, which were obtained from subclinically infected Asian buffalo in Pakistan in 2011 to 2012. Sequences from subclinically infected animals are rare and complement the more commonly available sequences from clinical cases.
