Giraffe Strain of Pestivirus: Its Taxonomic Status Based on the 5′‐Untranslated Region
1 Nov 2000
Abstract excerpt
The 5'-untranslated region (5'-UTR) of the 'Giraffe' strain of pestivirus was sequenced for comparison with those of other pestiviruses from cattle, sheep, goats, and swine. A phylogenetic tree constructed with these strains suggested that the 'Giraffe' strain was allocated to a new taxon. This observation was also confirmed by a newly proposed method based on palindromic nucleotide substitutions (PNS) at the...
