Data on a FMD virus of type "A" isolated in Italy in 1975.
A strain of FMD virus type A was isolated in a disease outbreak in Alessandria, Italy, in December 1975. Affected animals were young unvaccinated bovines and pigs of a very restricted region. No further spread has been observed. The strain was compared with some subtype strains of type A, including the Italian vaccinal strain.
