nr: NRL did not reply to this question, -: no FMDV serotypes identified in a particular year, neg: negative samples, ^a: data obtained from NCBI, Gene Bank for isolates collected during 2006–2010, ^b: data from annual reports of WRLFMD, Pirbright for 2006–2010. *: the lack of data from South Sudan reflects the very recent division of Sudan into Sudan and South Sudan in 2011.
