Abstract excerpt
Foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) escapes host immune surveillance via adaptive evolution driven by vaccine-mediated selective pressure, leading to persistent breakthrough infections in immunized animals. In this study, the dominant neutralizing epitope VP1 G-H loop (141-160 aa) was analyzed among 46 serotype O FMDV strains belonging to Southeast Asian (SEA) and Middle East-South Asian (ME-SA) topotypes...
