IAH WRLFMD FMDV O in Africa
IAH WRLFMD Previous studies • Few studies on the European FMDV serotypes in Africa: • Knowles et al., 1998 (type A) • Samuel et al., 1999 (type O) • Samuel & Knowles, 2001 (type O) • Sangare et al., 2001 (type O) • Sahle et al., 2004 (type O) • Bronsvoort et al., 2004 (types O & A) • Distinct genetic lineages of both FMDV-O and FMDV-A circulate in East and West Africa and viruses occurring in North Africa may be introduced from a variety of sources (Europe, South America, Middle East and West Africa). • Outbreaks of FMD types O and A in southern Africa are very rare and are usually introduced from outside the continent.

IAH Future work • We are completing the complete capsid sequencing of 9 African FMDV O isolates including representatives of all indigenous topotypes • We have an on-going study of FMDV O in Africa • We have completed a study of FMDV A in Africa (~80 VP1 sequences)
IAH WRLFMD Conclusions • Two previously unrecognised genetic lineages of FMDV O were identified in East Africa, each having a distinct geographic distribution. • Recombination near the 3’ end of VP1 may have played a role in the evolution of the EA-2 topotype. • Alternatively, it may be that all the African lineages evolved after the introduction of Asian FMD viruses into Africa and more mutations have subsequently accumulated in certain parts of the capsid-coding region while other parts may have remained more conserved.
IAH WRLFMD Recommendations • Future phylogenetic analyses for molecular epidemiological purposes should be based on complete VP1 sequences. • More extensive molecular epidemiological studies of the European FMDV serotypes in Africa should be undertaken (this is in progress in our laboratory for serotypes O and A). • More extensive genome analyses need to be performed to access the role of recombination in the natural evolution of FMD viruses.
