| Popis: | The reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and direct sequencing were employed in the diagnosis and typing of foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) in samples taken during the 1994 disease outbreak in Israel. Using PCR, virus isolation and serological methods it was shown that the 1994 disease outbreak in Israel and other Middle-Eastern countries was caused by O1 type virus. Direct PCR sequencing of VP1 genes and homology analysis of the virus isolates revealed that there were two distinct outbreaks in Israel. The first originated in Jordan, moved to the West Bank territory and then to the Lower Galilee. The second outbreak, caused by another virus, was responsible for disease outbreaks in South Lebanon, Upper Galilee and the Golan Heights. When viral sequences of isolates from the 1993 outbreaks in Egypt and Lebanon were included in the analysis, they showed a high degree of VP1 sequence homology between themselves, suggesting a common origin. |
