Foot and Mouth Disease
Research from University of East Anglia has provided new information about foot and mouth disease
June 2nd, 2009
"An important epidemiological tool in the control of epidemics of Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is genetic tracing using complete virus genome sequence data. However to interpret these genetic data. it is important to quantify underlying variation present in FMDV populations from individual tissue samples," scientists writing in the journal Virus Research report. "Cloned complete capsid sequences from two virus populations from epithelium from a cow (n = 26) and from a sheep (n = 15) infected during the UK 2001 outbreaks were generated. Genetic diversity of the two virus populations differed significantly, with sequences representing virus from the cow having a...
