Abstract excerpt
Foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) shows a remarkable antigenic variability and, like other RNA viruses, presents a high rate of mutation. It has been proposed that selection exerted by antibodies of the host could play a major role in the rapid evolution of FMDV. The present work reports the se...
