The samples were tested by real time RT-PCR using universal primers for detection of all seven

serotypes of FMDV. The positive-resulted samples were then tested using conventional PCR and pan

FMD primers. The same samples were tested again using serotype-specific primers to amplify the VP1

coding region and the products were sequenced for phylogenetic analysis.
