Abstract excerpt
Bluetongue, an arthropod borne viral disease of wild and domestic ruminants, causes heavy economic losses throughout the world. In the present study, full-length VP7 gene of Indian bluetongue virus (BTV) serotype 23 was sequenced and compared with prototype strains of BTV reported from different countries. Nucleotide sequence analysis of VP7 gene revealed Indian BTV serotype 23 to have 1154 nucleotides with the...
