Foot-and-Mouth Disease Virus Interserotypic Recombination in Superinfected Carrier Cattle

Abstract excerpt

Viral recombination contributes to the emergence of novel strains with the potential for altered host range, transmissibility, virulence, and immune evasion. For foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV), cell culture experiments and phylogenetic analyses of field samples have demonstrated the occurrence of recombination. However, the frequency of recombination and associated virus-host interactions within an infected...
