Abstract

To gain further insight into the genomic features of border disease virus (BDV), we determined the nearly complete genome sequence of isolate TO/121/04 from an aborted ovine fetus. Its genome contains a single open reading frame (ORF), which comprises 11,681 nucleotides encoding a polyprotein of 3893 amino acids. Phylogenetic analysis of the near full-length genome sequence showed that the BDV isolate differed significantly from all ovine pestiviruses identified so far, thus re-affirming the presence in Italy of this novel genetic group, termed BDV-7.
