Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Foot-and-mouth disease viruses (FMDVs) are members of the picornavirus family and cause an economically important disease of cloven-hoofed animals. To understand the structural basis of antigenic variation in FMDV, we have determined the structures of two viruses closely related to strain O1BFS whose structure is known. RESULTS: The two new structure are, like O1BFS, both serotype O viruses. The...
