Complete Genome Sequence of a Bovine Ephemeral Fever Virus Isolate from Israel

Isolation of Bovine Ephemeral Fever Virus in Iran

Complete Genome Sequence of a Sub-Subgenotype 2.1i Isolate of Classical Swine Fever Virus from China

The complete genome sequence of a sub-subgenotype 2.1i isolate of classical swine fever virus (CSFV), GD317/2011, was determined. Notably, GD317/2011 is distant from the sub-subgenotype 2.1b isolate HEBZ at genes of Erns, E1, E2, P7, NS2, NS5A and the 3'-nontranslated region (3'-NTR) but is closely related to that at genes of Npro, Core, NS3, NS4A, NS4B, and NS5B.

Complete Genome Sequence of an African Swine Fever Virus Isolate from Sardinia, Italy

Previous genetic characterization of African swine fever virus isolates from the Italian island of Sardinia, where the virus has been present since 1978, has largely been limited to a few selected genomic regions. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of the isolate 47/Ss/08 collected during an outbreak in 2008.

Epidemiological Investigation of Bovine Ephemeral Fever Outbreaks in Israel

Outbreaks of bovine ephemeral fever (BEF) occurred in Israel in 1990, 1999, and 2004. The main patterns of BEF spread were similar in the 1990 and in 1999 epidemics, and the BEF virus was probably carried in vectors transported by air streams across the Rift Valley and the Red Sea. In the 2004 outbreak, the primary focus of the disease was the southern Mediterranean coastal plain and the diseas...

Complete Genome Sequence of a Classical Swine Fever Virus Isolate Belonging to a New Subgenotype, 2.1c, from Guangxi Province, China

The complete genome sequence of a field isolate of classical swine fever strain (CSFV), GXF29/2013, was determined in this study. This strain was originally isolated from infected pigs in Guangxi Province, China. The most significant difference in the amino acid sequence of the polyprotein from subgenotypes 2.1a and 2.1b is an SPA→APV amino acid substitution at positions 88 and 90 in the E2 pro...
