Abstract excerpt
The genome of a virulent strain (LIS57) of African swine fever virus differs from that of the Vero-cell-adapted strain (BA71V) in several deletions located in the variable regions. The region which contains the most differences is located 8-20 kb from the left end. The DNA sequence of this region was obtained from LIS57 virus DNA and compared with the overlapping sequences of BA71V virus. This comparison revealed...
