SUMMARYSixteen foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) strains of type SAT 1 were compared in complement-fixation tests. With the test used, the range of antigenic variation within a type appeared to be greater than previously described. The concept of a sub-type group within which all strains are more closely related to each other than to any strain outside the group was not supported. Considering the group of strains studied, it is suggested that the classification of strains is best achieved by nominating a reference strain for each sub-type. Others are classified as related strains in one or more sub-type groups according to their relationships with the reference strains.

John Brooksby was an outstanding veterinary virologist, who worked at the Animal Virus Diseases Research Institute, Pirbright, for 40 years, for 16 of which he was Director of the Institute. He will be remembered for his contributions to the diagnosis of foot-and-mouth disease, for his discovery of four new types, for the classification of subtypes and for fundamental studies of the virus. As Deputy Director and Director he was responsible for programmes on fundamental investigations of foot–and–mouth disease virus and other viruses exotic to the UK and for the application of the results both in the UK and worldwide. His advice on the distribution and the control of foot–and–mouth disease was sought by international organizations and by individual countries and was responsible for reducing the risk of spread of disease.

Foot-and-mouth disease virus of Type SAT 1 (strain Turkey 323/62) was passaged serially 34 times in cattle previously vaccinated with increasing doses of formol-treated vaccine of the homologous strain. Primary vesicles developed in all the partly immunized animals and secondary lesions occurred in the majority. Virus from the 34th passage was capable of reinfecting a steer only 76 days after primary infection early in the passage series. Virus isolated from the second infection of this animal differed from that isolated from the primary infection in complement-fixing properties and in sensitivity to antiserum, and these differences were of a degree indicative of subtype variation.The variant strain was transmissible by contact, and virus titres in tongue and foot lesions of partly immunized animals were of the same order as those encountered in susceptible cattle.These observations suggest one way in which variant strains may arise in the field.
