Research Article: Viral Protein (VP) Sequence-Based Genetic Diversity of SAT FMDV Circulating in Ethiopia from to
Introduction:
The foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) genome is a single-strand, positive-sense RNA of about .kbp that codes for a single open reading frame (ORF) flanked by a ?-untranslated region (UTR) and ?-UTR. A single polyprotein is translated and further cleaved into a leader protein L, structural protein P, non-structural protein P, and P. Leader protein (L) regulates host interferon responses, the structural proteins form the viral capsid, whereas replication and completion of the viral life cycle is the responsibility…
