Abstract excerpt
Genetic relationships of 50 SAT-1 type foot-and-mouth disease viruses were determined by phylogenetic analysis of an homologous 417 nucleotide region encoding the C-terminal half of the VP1 gene and part of the 2A segment. Viruses obtained from persistently-infected African buffalo populations were selected in order to assess the regional genetic variation within the host species and compared with ten viruses...
