Complete Genome Sequence of Recombinant Porcine Circovirus Type 2 Strain SD-3

Abstract

We report here the genome sequence of a recombinant porcine circovirus type 2 strain SD-3, isolated from a commercial swine farm with an outbreak of postweaning multisystemic wasting syndrome (PMWS) in pigs in Shandong Province of China. The complete circular genome of this isolate is 1,767 nucleotides in length. This recombinant isolate has the ORF1 regions from PCV2a viruses and ORF2 regions from PCV2b. The findings will help us to understand the molecular evolution of porcine circovirus type 2 and the relationship between porcine circovirus type 2 and disease.
