Abstract
ABSTRACTThe first cell culture isolation and whole-genome sequence of a feline morbillivirus from Germany are described here. Phylogenetic analysis revealed highest similarity to isolates from Japan and a more distant relationship to strains from Italy, Hong Kong, and the United States. Therefore, feline morbilliviruses should be divided into two different genotypes.
Highlights
The first cell culture isolation and whole-genome sequence of a feline morbillivirus from Germany are described here
Phylogenetic analysis of the wholegenome sequence showed highest nucleotide similarity (93.8%) to Japanese strains SS1
Together with the findings from another workgroup in Japan (9), our results suggest that feline morbilliviruses should be divided into two different genotypes
Summary
The first cell culture isolation and whole-genome sequence of a feline morbillivirus from Germany are described here. The whole-genome sequence of the FmoPV isolate designated TV17 was 16,050 nucleotides in length and complied with the “rule of six” characteristic for paramyxoviruses.
