T1 - Foot-and-Mouth Disease Virus Serotype A in Egypt T2 - Emerging Infectious Disease journal PY - 2007 VL - 13 IS - 10 SP - 1593 SN - 1080-6059 AB - We describe the characterization of a foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) serotype A virus responsible for recent outbreaks of disease in Egypt. Phylogenetic analysis of VP1 nucleotide sequences demonstrated a close relationship to recent FMD virus isolates from East Africa, rather than to viruses currently circulating in the Middle East.
