Archiv für die gesamte Virusforschung Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

The bilateral comparison between foot-and-mouth disease virus strains can be made with the help of a simple biomathematical system, showing bilateral relationships and dominances between strains and fixing error limits for these relations, in order to obtain: first a systematic classification (taxonomic aim) and secondly, if necessary, to guide the choice of vaccinal strains (prophylactic aim).
