Abstract excerpt
Distinct Taura syndrome virus (TSV) isolates were found in Metapenaeus ensis (isolate Tw2KMeTSV), Penaeus monodon (isolate Tw2KPmTSV) and Litopenaeus vannamei (isolate Tw02LvTSV). Nucleotide sequence analysis of these three isolates revealed differences in the TSV structural protein (capsid protein precursor) gene orf2. TSV ORF2 amino acid sequence comparison and phylogenetic analysis suggested a comparatively...
