| characterization of the full-length genomic sequences of vesicular stomatitis cocal and alagoas viruses. | in brazil and argentina, vesicular stomatitis (vs) is caused by distinct viral strains serologically related to the classical vesicular stomatitis virus indiana (vsiv), namely vs indiana-2 (vsiv-2) and vs indiana-3 (vsiv-3). here we describe the full-length genomic sequences and organization of the prototype strains of vsiv-2 cocal virus (cocv) and vsiv-3 alagoas virus (vsav). these viruses showed similar genomic organizations to vsiv field isolates except that the non-structural c'/c proteins, ... | 2008 | 18512001 |
