Schematic diagram of the exchange-cassette cloning strategy described in this study. The FMDV full-length cDNA clone pOFS was used for the construction of two chimeric genome-length cDNA copies. The specific genes (from nt 2924–4183) with the substitution of the VP1 gene of FMDV O/TUR/5/2009 and O/NXYCh/CHA/2018 were synthesized by a biotechnology company.
