Abstract

This report describes the nucleotide sequences of eight Southern African Territories 2 (SAT2) serotype foot-and-mouth disease virus strains from 2017 to 2018 outbreaks in cattle in Nigeria. These viruses belong to topotype VII of SAT2 and were closely related to previous isolates from Nigeria and other West African countries.
