Serial passage in tissue culture of mixed foot-and-mouth disease virus serotypes

Abstract: The foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) virus field specimen SAU/8/88 was previously shown to consist of a mixture of O and Asia 1 serotypes [15]. In this study, plaques representing the O and Asia 1 components isolated from the original epithelial virus suspension were used to construct mixtures of known ratios, and these were serially passaged in tissue culture. After each passage, the ratio of O to Asia 1 virus was calculated. The two virus populations were shown to be cycling through time. This cycling phenomenon… Show more

“…Despite the stochastic generation of mutations, regular RNA viral competitions can follow a highly reproducible behaviour. This may also be at the basis of previous observations of viral fluctuations of foot-andmouth disease virus serotypes in tissue culture (Woodbury et al, 1995), and may also contribute to the long-term invariance of consensus sequences in spite of the continuous appearance of new mutant genomes (Domingo et al, 1978;Nichol et al, 1993;Steinhauer et al, 1989). A dynamical theory to explain biphasic fitness increases during large population passages of VSV (Novella et al, 1995a) has been recently presented (Tsimring et al, 1996).…”

“…The cyclical activity of FMD viruses has been previously observed at serotype levels (e.g. in Turkey, where outbreaks due to serotype O are often temporally interleaved with outbreaks sustained by viruses of serotype A and Asia 1 origin) 30 and experimentally (in cell culture) with type O/Asia 1 mixtures 31 , 32 . While the cyclical occurrence of FMDV serotypes might be driven by herd immunity against individual serotypes and introduction of viruses into naive animal populations, the evolutionary basis underpinning the cyclical occurrence of different genetic clades (and presence of several genomic variants) within a single sublineage is more difficult to explain, although the paucity of publically available sequence data from India from 2014 to date may have influenced these analyses due to sampling biases.…”

“…Competition between serotypes was significant, and under certain conditions, SAT-2 and SAT-3 challenge viruses were undetectable at later passages by qRT-PCR. Serial cell passage of mixed type O and Asia 1 infection was reported previously, with virus ratios up to passage 10 calculated by using an antigen ELISA (56). Virus extinction was not reported, and the two serotypes were shown to cycle equally through time.…”
