The epitopes of the capsid of foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) play important roles in the construction of highly immunogenic subunit vaccines. However few epitopes have been found for FMDV serotype Asia1. In this study we screened for epitopes of the VP1 and VP2 proteins of FMDV serotype Asia1 isolate, YNBS/58. Fragments consisting of amino acids 133-163 of VP1 and amino acids 1-33 of VP2 contained epitopes, and both induced lymphoproliferation in guinea pigs. Only the VP1 fragment induced neutralizing antibodies but the VP2 peptide dramatically increased the neutralizing antibody response induced by the VP1 peptide.

Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is a highly contagious transboundary disease prevalent across the Asian continent, affecting both wild and domestic artiodactyls. The disease is caused by a virus belonging to the Aphthovirus genus of the Picornaviridae family which is categorized into seven serotypes: C, O, A, SAT1, SAT2, SAT3, and Asia1. The virus spreads through direct and indirect contact, including semen, meat, fomites, ingestion, and aerosols.

Article Synopsis
- Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) significantly impacts agriculture in countries like Bangladesh, with current detection systems struggling to differentiate between virus serotypes.
- This study presents a new diagnostic platform using engineered proteins (VP1, VP2, and 3AB) that can effectively identify both serotype-specific and serotype-independent FMD viruses by utilizing optimized genetic sequences.
- The diagnostic kit shows promising results through various tests, demonstrating its potential as a cost-effective and efficient tool for FMD sero-surveillance in affected regions.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the challenge of isolating broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs) against foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV), which has seven distinct serotypes and lacks cross-protection.
- By vaccinating pigs with serotypes O and A, researchers identified 10 bnAbs through analysis of a large number of B cell clones, showing that sequential vaccination can induce cross-serotype bnAbs.
- The bnAbs mainly target a conserved motif on a viral protein to inhibit cell attachment, while one specific bnAb (pOA-2) binds to a new viral structure, revealing the importance of B-cell mutations in achieving effective neutralization.

Article Synopsis
- Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) poses major economic challenges to livestock globally, leading to a study in Iran that analyzed 90 samples from vaccinated cattle across 40 farms.
- Results showed a high prevalence of FMD, with 66.66% of samples testing positive, primarily identifying serotypes O, A, and Asia-1.
- The findings underscore the effectiveness of vaccination efforts in Iran but highlight the need for ongoing surveillance due to the persistence of these virus serotypes in different provinces.

Article Synopsis
- Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is a highly contagious viral infection affecting livestock, leading to significant economic losses worldwide.
- The study aimed to create more effective monoclonal antibody-based blocking ELISAs (mAb-bELISAs) for detecting antibodies against specific FMDV serotypes, in comparison to traditional polyclonal antibody-based assays.
- The developed mAb-bELISAs demonstrated high diagnostic specificity and sensitivity for FMDV serotypes O, A, Asia1, and SAT2, outperforming existing methods and showing potential for widespread use in disease detection.
