The genetic changes selected during the adaptation of a clonal population of foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) to the guinea pig have been analyzed. FMDV clone C-S8c1 was adapted to the guinea pig by serial passage in the animals until secondary lesions were observed. Analysis of the virus directly recovered from the lesions developed by the animals revealed the selection of variants,vith two amino acid substitutions in nonstructural proteins, I-248-->T in 2C and Q(44)-->R in 3A. On further passages, an additional mutation, L-147-->P, was selected in an important antigenic site located in the G-H loop of capsid protein VP1. The amino acid substitution Q(44)-->R in 3A, either alone or in combination,vith the replacement I-248-->T in 2C, was sufficient to give FMDV the ability to produce lesions. This was shown by using infectious transcripts which generated chimeric viruses,vith the relevant amino acid substitutions. Clinical symptoms produced by the artificial chimeras were similar to those produced by the naturally adapted virus. These results obtained with FMDV imply that one or very few replacements in nonstructural viral proteins, which should be within reach of the mutant spectra of replicating viral quasispecies, may result in adaptation of a virus to a new animal host.
