Abstract excerpt
Although RNA viruses exhibit extensive sequence diversity, the mutation rate must be limited to ensure protein functions that maintain the viral life cycle. Here, we compared the whole genome sequences of 150 isolates of classical swine fever virus (CSFV), obtained from a single epidemic that occurred in Japan during 2018-2020. After the detection of the first case, the disease spread among both farm pigs and...
