Abstract

Foot and mouth disease is an infectious and highly contagious viral disease of domestic and wild cloven-hoofed animals causing a huge loss to the agricultural economy worldwide. It is caused by FMD virus that belongs to the genus Aphthovirus of family Picornaviridae. Understanding the genome and structure of FMD virus can give the insight to control the disease. In this review, we discussed in brief about the genome of FMD virus, structure and assembly, functions of the non-structural protein that can help to increase our understanding of FMD.
