Abstract

In this article, we document the first pig-isolated complete genome sequence of foot-and-mouth disease virus type O in Bangladesh. The complete viral genome revealed a potential serotypic recombination at the 5' untranslated region (UTR). Conventional amino acid deletion was lacking in 3A region, and antigenic heterogeneity to circulatory type O existed within the VP1 region.
