The objective of this study was to compare the differences between SAT-2 VP1 sequences of FMDV circulated in Ethiopia from 1990 to 2015 at the genetic level.Methods: The nucleotide and amino acid sequences were analyzed using Basic Local Alignment Search Tools (BLAST), Multiple sequence alignment and sequence editing and Phylogenetic tree reconstruction. The nucleotide and amino acid sequences alignment, distance matrix, and phylogenetic tree constructions were done using the MEGA 6.0 software package.Result and Discussion: In this analysis, we found 76% nucleotide identities and amino acid similarities among the sequences. The overall group mean distance at nucleotide level was 19% with a mean intra-population diversity of 2%. The lowest sequence variation was observed among sequences obtained from the years 2007/09/10, 2014/15, and 1990/91 which was less than 5% among them. This analysis revealed that in the last 25 years, four different topotypes of the FMDV SAT-2 were circulating in Ethiopia. The Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) amino acid (AA) motif at AA position 144– 146 within the G-H loop of the VP1 protein of FMDV is conserved, but up- and downstream hyper-variable AA sequences are identified. In this study, it was observed that four topotypes (IV, XIV, XIII, and VII) were circulating in Ethiopia for 25 years. Further, compared with sequences from neighboring countries (Sudan, Kenya) confirmed the presence of these topotypes.Conclusion: Pertinent to this genetic diversity control strategies in Ethiopia should be based on having regular antigenic and genetic vaccine matching tests with the circulating strain within a defined period, space, transboundary nature of the disease and applying biosecurity measures.Keywords: amino acid, Ethiopia, FMDV, genetic diversity, nucleotide, SAT-2, viral protein |
