Plant-expressed diagnostic proteins and their use for the identification and differentiation of infected and vaccinated animals with foot-and-mouth disease virus
The Foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) affects cloven-hoofed animals and is endemic in most parts of Africa, South America and southern Asia. South Africa is considered a FMDV-free zone but the virus is maintained within the wildlife in the Kruger National Park (KNP), making mitigation of …

Micro-evolution of foot-and-mouth disease virus
Foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) causes an acute vesicular disease of domesticated and wild ruminants, and pigs. The virus is highly variable with 7 serotypes and numerous subtypes. A method was developed to sequence the complete genome of the Pan Asia O serotype FMDV that caused the UK 2001 …

The production of foot-and-mouth disease virus-like particles in the plant Nicotiana benthamiana: a potential candidate vaccine for foot-and-mouth disease
Foot and mouth disease virus (FMDV) infects cloven-hoofed animals causing the highly contagious foot and mouth disease. It is spread by contact or through aerosol. The disease is often debilitating for infected animals and can be fatal. Severe measures are taken to contain outbreaks; quarantine and …

Novel expression and production of Foot-and-mouth disease virus vaccine candidates in Nicotiana benthamiana
… by the aphthovirus Foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV), which is a highly contagious disease of cloven-hoofed animals. It is endemic in Africa, parts of South America and southern Asia. In South Africa, the disease is controlled essentially through prophylactic vaccination. Current vaccines on the …

Epidemiology of foot and mouth disease in Zambia.
… of the circulating foot and mouth disease virus (FMDV) strains in these species. Furthermore, a transmission model incorporating carrier status was developed. Results of the study confirmed that FMD outbreaks remain confined to three high risk areas of Kafue Flats, lower Zambezi basin and northern …

Co-ordinated expression of CRTB, At-VTE3, and VTE4 to enhance pro-vitamin A and vitamin E in transgenic soybean
… using the self-cleavage activity of FMDV 2A sequence to join two adjacent proteins. This 2A-polyprotein construct was introduced to soybean via Agrobacteriummediated cotyledonary node transformation method. One inheritable transgenic event displayed "golden"-colored seeds. The …

Sero-prevalence and risk factors of foot and mouth disease in Goats in Ngamiland and North East Districts of Botswana
… times less likely to be sero-positive for FMDV antibodies than those from the North East district (p<0.01). Adult goats were found to be 1.327 times more likely to be sero-positive than weaner goats (p = 0.006) while kids were found to be 4.744 (95%, CI=2.194-10.257) times more likely to be …

Evaluation of the solid-phase competition ELISA for detecting SAT foot-and-mouth disease virus vaccination and infection in goats
Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is a highly contagious and widely distributed disease affecting cloven-hoofed animals. The exact role played by goats in the epidemiology of the Southern African Territories (SAT) serotypes is an area currently under investigation. In this study, diagnostic properties …

ISG15 conjugation : cellular targets and the lysine selectivity of HERC5
… Similarly, foot and mouth disease virus (FMDV) expresses a protease that not only deconjugates ISG15 but renders it incapable of being re-conjugated, while the Influenza B NS1 protein binds and sequesters ISGylated proteins to block the anti-viral effect of ISG15 conjugation. HERC5 is the …
