Abstract

The complete genome sequence of a foot-and-and mouth disease virus (FMDV) type A strain (BAN/GA/Sa-197/2013), isolated from Gazipur in Bangladesh, revealed an 84-nucleotide insertion within the 5'-untranslated region (UTR), a lengthened poly(C) tract, and amino acid substitutions at the VP1 region compared to the available genome sequence of the vaccine strain (GenBank accession no. HM854025).
