VP1 is exposed on the surface of viral particles and is the main antigen to elicit a neutral-izing antibody response [2,3]. Currently, FMD is mainly controlled by inactivated virus vaccines, which provide only phosphoprotein (P), matrix (M), fusion (F), hemagglutinin (H) and polymerase (L), and two nonstructural proteins, C and V that are genomically encoded in the order of 3′-N-P/C/V-M-F-H-L-5 ′ [15,16]. An attenuated PPRV strain, Nigeria/75/1, derived from serial-passage in Vero cells, has been widely used as a safe and efficacious live vaccine to control PPR infections [17]. Several studies have indicated that recombinant para-myxoviruses are effective and genetically stable vectors with many advantages. It is easy to generate recombin-ant paramyxovirus vectored vaccine candidates using re
