Abstract excerpt
Genome segment 2 (L2) from six field isolates of bluetongue virus (BTV) serotype 17 was sequenced by cycling sequencing after the amplification of the viral cDNA by the polymerase chain reaction. The viruses were isolated from sheep, cattle and a goat in the San Joaquin Valley of California during the years 1981 and 1990. These viruses exhibit divergent patterns of neutralization with BTV 17-specific monoclonal...
