Abstract excerpt
VP1 gene nucleotide sequences of 51 SAT3-type foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) viruses from seven southern and eastern African countries were used to infer a gene phylogeny. Results obtained by phylogenetic analysis of the homologous 405 nt region corresponding to the C-terminal 128 amino acids of 1D and adjacent 7 amino acids of 2A indicate that there are six distinct virus lineages evolving independently in...
