Interpretive Summary: Foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) is an important viral disease affecting animal health and economics in the form of agriculture and trade. A newly emerged FMDV strain was identified in 2001 from samples in India, designated Ind2001. Recently, a variant of this know as “Ind2001e” was detected in samples collected in Vietnam. This manuscript describes the first full genome sequence of Ind2001e from Vietnam. The discovery is an important consideration for vaccination and other FMDV control efforts that allow FMDV-free countries like USA maintain preparedness for possible introduction of the virus.

Technical Abstract: We report the full genome of the newly defined Ind2001e sublineage of FMDV serotype O in an epithelial tissue sample collected in 2017 from a cow in Kon Tum Province, Vietnam. This discovery updates FMDV diversity in Vietnam and may influence future virus evolution and vaccine selections.
