Abstract

The complete genome of a foot-and-mouth disease type O virus originating from an epidemic in Greece in 1994 is reported. This virus belongs to the Middle East-South Asia topotype.

Grants and funding

This work, including the efforts of Donald King, was funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) under the awards: beyond the consensus: defining the significance of foot-and-mouth disease viral sequence diversity (Reference number: BB/I014314/1) and the molecular biology of FMDV replication: toward new methods of FMDV disease control (reference number BB/K003801/1), and a research project (SE2940) from the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA). The funders had no role in the study design, data analysis, decision to publish, or preparation of the manuscript.
