Abstract excerpt
Characterization of the small RNA segment of the teratogenic Akabane virus was performed to define the genetic heterogeneity and molecular epidemiology of the virus. The nucleotide and amino acid sequences were highly conserved among the Akabane virus isolates, irrespective of the year of isolation and geographical origin, except for a Kenyan strain MP496. On the basis of the nucleocapsid gene sequences of the...
