Genome Sequences of Seven Foot-and-Mouth Disease Virus Isolates Collected from Serial Samples from One Persistently Infected Carrier Cow in Vietnam.

Several foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) carrier cattle were identified in Vietnam by the recovery of infectious virus from oropharyngeal fluid. This report contains the first near-complete genome sequences of seven viruses from sequential samples from one carrier animal collected over the course of 1 year. The characterization of within-host viral evolution has implications for FMDV control strategies.
