Abstract excerpt
The genomic heterogeneity of 78 isolates of feline herpesvirus type 1 (FHV-1) recently isolated from cats suspected to have feline viral rhinotracheitis was analyzed by examining the digestion patterns found with restriction endonuclease MluI. The FHV-1 field isolates were classified into at least three genotypes, namely, the C7301, F2 (an attenuated vaccine strain), and C7805 types. The C7301 type seems to be a...
