Abstract excerpt
A reverse transcription-dependent polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) is described that amplifies the genes encoding the capsid proteins VP1-3 of at least three evolutionary lineages each of the foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) virus types A, Asia1 and O. Most of these lineages are circulating at present in Asia and Africa. The method is not only suitable to confirm suspected outbreaks of FMD, but also describes the...
