The representative strains/isolates for each FMDV topotype are listed below, along with an accession number pointing to the complete genome sequence (where available) or, at minimum, the complete VP1 sequence. These can form the basic references points of a phylogenetic tree.

Download sequences

Sequences are organised by serotype and, within each serotype, topotype. Prototype strains for each topotype (and sometimes lineage) are shown in bold case.

(Note for tables: *, not a WRLFMD Reference Number)

The O serotype is divided into eleven topotypes: EAST AFRICA 1 to 4 (EA-1 to -4), SOUTHEAST ASIA (SEA), EUROPE-SOUTH AMERICA (EURO-SA), INDONESIA-1 and -2 (ISA-1 and -2), CATHAY, MIDDLE EAST-SOUTH ASIA (ME-SA) and WEST AFRICA (WA).

These sequences are available in FASTA format
