Foot-and-mouth disease is one of the most economically important virus diseases of livestock. Two important requirements for the control of this disease are rapid laboratory diagnosis and epidemiological investigation. The use of the polymerase chain reaction method (PCR) to amplify specific nucleic acid regions offers the unique possibility of combining swift viral detection with the production of genetic material suitable for sequencing and other methods of molecular epidemiological analysis. The sequencing of the region of foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) genome encoding the capsid proteins of the virus (approximately 2260 bps), provides valuable information that adds to the molecular characterisation of an isolate. This paper describes the use of the PCR for the amplification of this region of the FMDV genome from bovine clinical samples and cell culture isolates. Suitable pairs of oligonucleotide primers were selected from the published sequence of FMDV type O1, Kaufbeuren. One primer set amplified 2091 bps of the capsid coding region of all seven serotypes of FMDV. The other primer set amplified 216 bp from this region of FMDV type O1, BFS 1860, in nucleic acid extracts from several clinical samples. Nucleic acid extracts from the picornaviruses, bovine enterovirus and swine vesicular disease virus, which affect the same animals, were not amplified. Direct sequencing was carried out on the amplified fragments and showed that the PCR products were > 98% homologous to published FMDV sequences.
