Journal ArticleDOI
Comparative Genomics of Foot-and-Mouth Disease Virus
C. Carrillo,Edan R. Tulman,Edan R. Tulman,G. Delhon,G. Delhon,Z. Lu,A. Carreno,Ariel Vagnozzi,Ariel Vagnozzi,Gerald F. Kutish,Gerald F. Kutish,Daniel L. Rock,Daniel L. Rock +12 more
TL;DR: An analysis of the complete FMDV genomes indicated phylogenetic incongruities between different genomic regions which were suggestive of interserotypic recombination, and a novel SAT virus lineage containing nonstructural protein-encoding regions distinct from other SAT and Euroasiatic lineages was identified.
Journal ArticleDOI
North American and European porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome viruses differ in non-structural protein coding regions.
R. Allende,R. Allende,T. L. Lewis,Z. Lu,Daniel L. Rock,Gerald F. Kutish,A. Ali,Alan R. Doster,Fernando A. Osorio +8 more
TL;DR: The genome of the pathogenic North American PRRSV isolate 16244B has been sequenced and compared with LV, and genomic differences confirm the presence of distinct North American and EuropeanPRRSV genotypes.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Genome of Fowlpox Virus
TL;DR: A diverse complement of genes with likely host range functions in FPV suggests significant viral adaptation to the avian host and the presence of a photoreactivation DNA repair pathway suggests that significant modification of host cell function occurs upon viral infection.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Genomes of Sheeppox and Goatpox Viruses
Edan R. Tulman,Claudio L. Afonso,Z. Lu,Laszlo Zsak,Jung-Hyang Sur,N. T. Sandybaev,U. Z. Kerembekova,V. L. Zaitsev,Gerald F. Kutish,Daniel L. Rock +9 more
TL;DR: Comparative genomic data indicate the close genetic relationship among capripoxviruses, and they suggest that SPPV and GTPV are distinct and likely derived from an LSDV-like ancestor.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genome of Lumpy Skin Disease Virus
TL;DR: The genomic sequence of LSDV shows that although LSDV is closely related to other members of the Chordopoxvirinae, it contains a unique complement of genes responsible for viral host range and virulence.
