Article Synopsis
- The serotype A foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) in India poses a significant challenge due to the emergence of genetically and antigenically diverse lineages, making current vaccines less effective against some isolates.
- In 2009, a new vaccine strain (IND40/2000) was adopted to address this diversity, but it still faces limitations, particularly against certain isolates with VP3(59)-deletion.
- Four alternative vaccine candidates were identified and analyzed, indicating that strains IND281/2003 and IND195/2007 could be valuable additions to the vaccine strategy to ensure broader protection against evolving viral strains.
