Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine the genetic characteristics of rabies virus based on phylogenetic relationship among rabies virus in various regions in Indonesia. The amino acid sequence of the nucleoprotein gene of rabies virus isolate from Banten (RV/Banten01/dog/2007),Makasar (RV/MKS-26/dog/2010), Bukit Tinggi (RV/BKT-52/dog/2009 and RV/BKT-58/dog/2009), Medan (RV/Medan27/dog/2007)andBali(RV/Bali-1/dog/2009;RV/Bali-2/dog/2009;RV/Bali-3/dog/2009),Indonesiawasdetermined.TheseisolatesshowedahighdegreeofhomologyamongIndonesianisolateswhichreached100%.Meanwhile,thelevelofhomologybetweenrabiesvirusisolatesfromcatsrabiesvirusisolatesfromdogsreached97%.ResultsofphylogeneticanalysisusingtheaminoacidsequencesoftheNgenesshowedthatallofIndonesianrabiesvirusisolateswerecloselyrelatedtorabiesvirusesfromChinathanthosefromThailand,Laos,Burma,andVietnamwhichgeograficallycloser to Indonesia. Data obtained from the phylogenetic analysis is expected to trace the source of rabies spread and thepossibility to create a vaccines which more suitable with rabies virus that spreads in Indonesia. Based on the phylogenetic relationship analysisusing the amino acid sequence of the rabies virus N protein gene showed that all of rabies virus isolated from Indonesian regions share a highhomology with others ranging from 97-100%..Key words: sequencing, rabies, nucleoprotein gene (N), homology
