Abstract
The genome sequences of two foot-and-mouth disease type O viruses isolated from outbreaks of disease in cattle in Pakistan in 2019 are described. They were identified as belonging to serotype O, Middle East-South Asia topotype, Ind-2001 lineage, and e sublineage and represent the first identification of this lineage in Pakistan.
Highlights
The genome sequences of two foot-and-mouth disease type O viruses isolated from outbreaks of disease in cattle in Pakistan in 2019 are described
Nucleotide identity) to recent type O viruses from Bhutan and Nepal (Fig. 1) and India
The O/ME-SA/Ind-2001 lineage is classified into five sublineages named a, b, c, d, and e, each of which has circulated in South Asia, replacing the previously dominant O/ME-SA/PanAsia lineage [4]
Summary
The genome sequences of two foot-and-mouth disease type O viruses isolated from outbreaks of disease in cattle in Pakistan in 2019 are described. The two Pakistan sequences are indicated by black diamonds.
