Space-time evolution of the FMDV serotype C based on sequences of the VP1 capsid encoding region generated from 149 isolates. Time-calibrated genetic relationships between VP1 sequences, with the 95% Bayesian credible interval (BCI) region of node timing represented in light blue; branches and nodes are coloured according to the most probable ancestral continent inferred from the discrete phylogeography analysis. Topotypes with their subtypes are denoted (green panels). The viruses labelled as C/ETH/6/2005 and C/ETH/7/2005 were submitted to the WRLFMD in 2005 from samples collected in 1983.
