Abstract excerpt
The genetic changes selected during the adaptation of a clonal population of foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) to the guinea pig have been analyzed. FMDV clone C-S8c1 was adapted to the guinea pig by serial passage in the animals until secondary lesions were observed. Analysis of the virus directly recovered from the lesions developed by the animals revealed the selection of variants with two amino acid...
