Abstract

A canine-origin Korean H3N2 feline influenza virus (FIV), A/feline/Korea/01/2010 (H3N2), was isolated in 2010 from a dead cat with severe respiratory disease. Here, we report the first complete genome sequence of this virus, containing 3′ and 5′ noncoding regions, which will help elucidate the molecular basis of the pathogenesis, transmission, and evolution of FIV.

Highlights

  • A canine-origin Korean H3N2 feline influenza virus (FIV), A/feline/Korea/01/2010 (H3N2), was isolated in 2010 from a dead cat with severe respiratory disease

  • A canine-origin Korean H3N2 feline influenza virus (FIV) strain, designated A/feline/Korea/01/2010 (H3N2), was isolated at the beginning of 2010 from a lung specimen of a dead cat, which had suffered from a severe respiratory disease [6]

  • A complete genome sequence containing 3= and 5= noncoding regions (NCRs) of H3N2 FIV has not been reported despite multiple functions of NCRs in the replication of Influenza A virus (IAV) [8,9,10,11]
