For the first time, the complete genome sequences of the six serotype O foot-and-mouth disease viruses from persistently infected carrier cattle are reported here. No consistent amino acid changes were found in these viruses obtained from persistently infected cattle compared with the complete genome of the parent virus that was used to infect the cattle.

- - The peste des petits ruminants virus (PPRV) causes a highly contagious disease affecting small ruminants, which poses significant economic impacts in regions like Asia, the Middle East, and Africa, even with available vaccines.
- - Researchers analyzed the complete and partial genome sequences from all 4 lineages of PPRV to study its evolutionary history, concluding that the virus diverged from a lineage III isolate in the early 20th century.
- - A geographic analysis pinpointed Nigeria as the ancestral root of PPRV, with distinct origins for its lineages: Senegal (lineage I), Nigeria/Ghana (lineage II), Sudan (lineage III), and India (lineage IV), which are
For the first time, complete genome sequences of four lineage III peste des petits ruminants (PPR) viruses (Oman 1983, United Arab Emirates 1986, Ethiopia 1994, and Uganda 2012) originated from the Middle East and East Africa are reported here. The availability of complete genome sequences from all four lineages (I to IV) of the PPR virus (PPRV) would greatly help in a comprehensive understanding of the molecular evolution and emergence of PPRV.
