Southeast Asian foot-and-mouth disease viruses in Eastern Asia

Emerg Infect Dis. 2012 Mar;18(3):499-501. doi: 10.3201/eid1803.110908.

Abstract

Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) outbreaks recently affected 2 countries (Japan and South Korea) in eastern Asia that were free of FMD without vaccination. Analysis of viral protein 1 nucleotide sequences indicated that FMD serotype A and O viruses that caused these outbreaks originated in mainland Southeast Asia to which these viruses are endemic.
