Genome sequence of bluetongue virus type 2 from India: evidence for reassortment between outer capsid protein genes

Maan, S. et al. (2015) Genome sequence of bluetongue virus type 2 from India: evidence for reassortment between outer capsid protein genes. Genome Announcements, 3(2), e00045-15. (doi: 10.1128/genomeA.00045-15) (PMID:25858823) (PMCID:PMC4392135)

Abstract

Southern Indian isolate IND1994/01 of bluetongue virus serotype 2 (BTV-2), from the Orbivirus Reference Collection at the Pirbright Institute (http://www.reoviridae.org/dsRNA_virus_proteins/ReoID/btv-2.htm#IND1994/01), was sequenced. Its genome segment 6 (Seg-6) [encoding VP5(OCP2)] is identical to that of the Indian BTV-1 isolate (IND2003/05), while Seg-5 and Seg-9 are closely related to isolates from South Africa and the United States, respectively.
