Complete genome sequence of a European genotype porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus in China

Abstract

Here, we report a novel European genotype porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) strain with 15 nucleotide deletions in the nonstructural protein 2 region and 3 nucleotide deletions in the overlapping regions of the open reading frame 3 (ORF3) and ORF4 regions. This study will aid in further exploration of the genetic and antigenic diversity of the European genotype of the PRRSV in China.
