| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To examine whether wildlife may be responsible for spread of foot-and-mouth disease (FMD), I searched cell receptor molecules for FMD virus (FMDV) on the organs of Japanese wild deer. I identified integrin alpha V, beta 6, and beta 8, which are supposed to be the main receptor molecules for FMDV, suggesting that such deer are susceptible to FMDV, although I have not authenticated their functional roles using bovine rhinovirus 2 as a surrogate of FMDV.
