Abstract
The vaccination of the susceptible animal population against FMDV remains the most important measure to control the virus and prevent economic loss. Occurrence of infection in vaccinated animals is well-known in some diseases and is termed as breakthrough infection. The reasons include host genetic factors which can play an important role resulting in differences in susceptibility of animals to virus infection even with vaccine induced protective immune response. The Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) of bovines i.e. Bovine Leukocyte Antigen (BoLA) is important for antigen presentation. The BoLA DRB3 allele, which codes for the beta chain in Class II antigen, has been extensively studied and numerous reports have previously shown association of polymorphism in the gene with resistance/ susceptibility to several bacterial and viral diseases. In addition, previous studies have shown relationship between BoLA Class I and resistance or susceptibility to different diseases in cattle. The present study investigated the polymorphism in BoLA DRB3 and BoLA gene sequences of host and their relation with breakthrough FMDV infection in vaccinated animals. The study has identified three polymorphic sites each in both the genes which correlate with evidence of recent infection indicating their role in determining susceptibility of vaccinated animals to FMDV infection. Our limited study was performed on a relatively small samples size collected from one region of country. Further validation would require more detailed investigations on larger sample size.
