Key result
Novel FMDV Asia1 lineage BD-18 emerges in Bangladesh showing >8% nucleotide divergence from established lineages.
Why the study?
A novel lineage of foot-and-mouth disease virus serotype Asia1 BD-18 (G-IX) with a unique mutation emerged in Bangladesh in 2018, with unclear evolutionary and epidemiological factors.

Reports the emergence of a novel lineage of foot-and-mouth disease virus in Bangladesh, potentially linked to inappropriate vaccination and inefficient surveillance.
In 2018, a novel circulatory foot-and-mouth disease virus serotype Asia1 BD-18 (G-IX) lineage containing a unique mutation has emerged in Bangladesh. This emergence may be following the evolutionary roadmap of previously reported lineage. Inappropriate vaccination and inefficient outbreak surveillance possibly contributed to the current episode of emergence.

Ali et al. (2019) conducted an observational in Foot-and-Mouth Disease. FMDV Serotype Asia1 BD-18 (G-IX) lineage vs. Established FMDV Asia1 lineages (G-I to G-VIII) was evaluated on Nucleotide divergence (>8% nucleotide divergence). A novel lineage of Foot-and-Mouth Disease Virus serotype Asia1, designated BD-18 (G-IX), emerged in Bangladesh in 2018, showing >8% nucleotide divergence from all established lineages.
