• FOOT-AND-MOUTH DISEASE VIRUS
• TYPE A

Three serological and three biochemical methods were used to compare five field isolates of foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) from Western India with nine reference vaccine strains and five field isolates from other countries. The serological tests (liquid-phase ELISA and virus neutralization) were able to distinguish between the three reference vaccine strains examined, but the five Indian field isolates reacted poorly with antisera produced against these vaccine strains. Analysis of monoclonal antibody (mAb) data was difficult to interpret although clearly the field isolate A/IND/5/87 reacted to a lesser extent with one of the mAb panels (A(10)/Holland/42) than the other four Indian isolates. The A(22)/Iraq/24/64 mAbs did not react with any of the Indian field isolates and only significantly with one of the reference vaccine strains, A/IND/57/79. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis distinguished the reference vaccine strains from each other and from the field isolates. Additionally, one of the Indian isolates (A/IND/5/87) could be differentiated from the other four. Electrofocusing showed similarities between the reference vaccine strain A(22)/Iraq/24/64 and three of the Indian field isolates (A/IND/1/87, A/IND/2/87 and A/IND/3/87), however, A/IND/4/87 and A/IND/5/87 were distinct. Nucleotide sequencing showed that the isolates A/IND/1/87, A/IND/2/87 and A/IND/3/87 were very closely related to each other and related to A/IND/4/87, however, A/IND/5/87 was different.
