Abstract
Differences in the amino acid sequence of foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) virion proteins (VP) among the various FMDV serotypes, particularly in the VP1 polypeptide, are the basis for antigenic diversity of this virus group. This phenomenon provides the basis for type diagnosis of FMDV by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). In order to specifically identify the Asia1 FMDV serotype by PCR, the nucleotide sequence of its P1-coding region was determined. The sequence exhibited over 70% homology with the P1 gene segment of type O1k. The deduced amino acid sequence shares 79% homology with that of the P1 region of serotype O1k.
