Abstract
The Onderstepoort Journal of Veterinary Research (OJVR), is the official publication of the Onderstepoort Veterinary Institute. It publishes scientific papers reporting original research on diseases and disease vectors of livestock and wildlife with a focus on Africa, but with results of more than local interest.
Highlights
Full genome sequencing to study the evolutionary characteristics of foot-and-mouth disease virus in southern Africa
Despite the importance of Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) in southern Africa, the epidemiology of FMD virus (FMDV) and factors contributing to the endemicity of FMD infection in susceptible animal populations are not clearly known in this region
We designed and optimised an RT-PCR strategy for amplification of the complete genome of FMDV SAT 1, and sequenced the whole genome of one isolate, designated SAT1/MOZ/BUF-B16/2010, which was isolated from an African buffalo (Syncerus caffer) in Mozambique in 2010
