Abstract
Partial nucleotide sequence of the capsid polypeptide coding gene
1D (VP1) was determined for
68 serotype O foot-and-mouth disease viruses isolated between 1983 and
1995
from outbreaks
occurring in Saudi Arabia. The sequences were compared with previously
published sequences:
14 viruses of Middle Eastern origin (isolated between 1987 and 1991); and
with four vaccine virus strain sequences, three originating from the Middle
East
(O1/Turkey/Manisa/69,
O1/Sharquia/Egypt/72 and
O1/Israel/2/85) and
one from Europe (O1/BFS 1860/UK/67). The
virus isolates from Saudi Arabia and the Middle East vaccine virus strains
formed a related
genetic group distinct from the European O1virus. Within this
large group 12 distinct genetic sublineages were observed.
