First Report of Near-Complete Genome Sequences of Foot-and-Mouth Disease Virus Serotype O Strains from Kenya

ABSTRACT This is the first report of two near-complete genome sequences of foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) serotype O from Kenya. The viruses were isolated from bovine epithelium collected in 2014 and 2016 from local FMD outbreaks. These full-genome sequences are critical for improving the understanding of regional FMDV molecular epidemiology.
