Foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) serotypes O, A and Asia1 are responsible for a significant number of disease outbreaks in Iraq. The current study can be considered as the first molecular characterization of serotype Asia1 in Iraq. The present investigation reports the detection of serotype FMDV Asia1 from local farms in Sulaimani districts in 2012 and 2014 outbreaks. Phylogenetic analysis of the complete gene has shown that FMDV Asia1 field isolates were under genetic novel variant Sindh-08 (group VII) including PAK/iso/11 and TUR/13 strains. The VP1 protein sequence of circulatory FMDV Asia1 genotype showed heterogeneity of nine amino acid substitutions within the G-H loop with the vaccine strain As1/Shamir/89 (JF739177) that is currently used in vaccination program in Iraq. Our result indicated that differences in VP1 protein at G-H loop of the locally circulated FMDV serotype Asia1 strain may be a reason for current vaccination failure.

As pregnancy can adversely affect the immune response of vaccination against foot and mouth disease virus (FMDV) due to physiological immunosuppressive milieu, we tested the effect of FMDV vaccination during mid-gestation on the antibody response. Pregnant and non-pregnant cows of crossbred and indigenous breed (n = 28/group) were vaccinated with inactivated FMD vaccine covering O, A, and Asia1 serotypes and the sera were harvested at weekly interval till day 42 post-vaccination. Virus neutralization test (VNT) was done and the analysis of log VN antibody titer by mixed model ANOVA indicated that pregnancy did not significantly affect the log VN titer for FMDV serotype O and Asia1.

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.
