Foot-and-mouth-disease virus (FMDV) serotype Asia1 causes significant number of disease outbreaks in India. Indian Asia1 virus isolates were shown to be genetically heterogeneous and of the two lineages (lineage B and lineage C) described in India, lineage C caused majority of the outbreaks. Emergence of a novel divergent lineage (lineage D) within lineage C has been described in 2001. In the present report, the complete VP1 genomic region of 41 FMDV Asia1 field isolates collected between 2003 and 2008 was sequenced. Phylogenetic analysis revealed reemergence of lineage C since 2005 following exclusive dominance of lineage D in the period between 2002 and 2004. At many positions lineage specific signature residues were identified. The antigenic relationship of the field isolates with the currently used vaccine strain IND63/72 was also determined, which reflects antigenic stability of serotype Asia1 in-spite of genetic heterogeneity.

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.
