Abstract

We present the complete genome sequence of foot-and-mouth disease virus serotype A isolate BDSH_01 from Bangladesh. The 8,140-nucleotide genome encodes a 2,333-aa polyprotein with conserved motifs. Phylogenetically, within lineage A/ASIA/G-VII, clustering with recent regional strains indicates transboundary transmission. Sequence divergence from vaccine strains highlights its epidemiological and immunological significance.
