Epidemiological and genetic characteristics of foot-and-mouth disease virus in China from 2010 to 2022

This study summarized 123 cases of FMD reported in China between 2010 and 2022, using data from the official website of the Chinese Center for Animal Disease Control and Prevention. The epidemic situation and genetic characteristics of FMDV in China were studied through phylogenetic analysis, amino acid variation analysis of antigenic epitopes, and genetic recombination analysis. The findings provide important references for predicting the FMDV epidemic situation in China, developing vaccines, and effectively preventing and controlling FMD.PMID:37984153 | DOI:10.1016/j.virol.2023.109940
