Abstract excerpt
Foot-and-mouth disease virus is an economically important animal virus that exhibits extensive genetic and antigenic heterogeneity. To examine the evolutionary forces that have influenced the population dynamics of foot-and-mouth disease virus, individual genes and the coding genomes for the Eurasian (Asia1, A, C, and O) serotypes were examined for phylogenetic relationships, recombination, genetic diversity and...
