Researchers at the Pirbright Institute have developed a panel of real-time RT-PCR assays to differentiate between different lineages of the foot and mouth disease virus (FMDV) circulating in Asia. The panel includes five new assays and three previously published assays, allowing for the rapid characterization of FMDV strains at a relatively low cost. These assays will enhance the ability of laboratories in endemic countries to accurately identify and control FMDV outbreaks, particularly in areas where sequencing capability is limited. The research was published in Frontiers in Veterinary Science. [Extracted from the article]
