Foot-and-Mouth Disease Division, Animal and Plant Quaran8ne Agency, Korea.
Outbreak : 21 sites, 35 days, slaughtered 33,000 pigs.
VP1 gene homology : as high as 99.22% with 2014 to 2015 virus
Epidemiology : 2014to15 virus survived, reappeared in the farms
where vaccina8on and biosecurity were insufficient
