Abstract excerpt
The genetic characteristics and phylogenetic relationships between the U.S. prototype strain of bluetongue virus serotype 10 (BTV 10), the modified live virus vaccine currently used in California, and three field isolates of BTV 10 obtained in 1980 and three in 1990 in California were determined by comparison of their L2 gene sequences. The L2 genes of the 1980 field isolates were very closely related to the L2...
