Multiple incursions of foot-and-mouth disease virus serotype O into the Republic of Korea between 2010 and 2019.

ABSTRACT: This study characterised type O foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) viruses recovered from outbreaks that were reported between 2010 and 2019 in the Republic of Korea. We used 96 newly generated whole-genome sequences (WGS) along with 131 already published WGSs from samples collected from countries in East and Southeast Asia. We identified at least eight independent introductions of O/SEA/Mya-98 and O/ME-SA/Ind-2001e FMDV strains into the Republic of Korea during the study period, which were closely related to the sequences of viruses circulating in the East and Southeast Asia neighbourhood with over 97 % nucleotide identity. Spatial-temporal transitions of O/SEA/Mya-98 lineage viruses recovered from the largest outbreak (2014-16) showed that after initial cases were detected within a 15-day peri
