Differentiation of pestiviruses by a hog cholera virus-specific genetic probe

Arch Virol Suppl. 1991:3:209-15. doi: 10.1007/978-3-7091-9153-8_25.

Abstract

A hog cholera virus (HCV)-specific genetic probe has been generated after cloning of the genomic viral RNA. This probe distinguished between HCV and the closely related bovine viral diarrhoea virus (BVDV). Furthermore, it detected a broad spectrum of HCV strains and isolates which differ in their phenotype such as virulence.
