Genome Announc. 2014 Oct 9;2(5):e00762-14. doi: 10.1128/genomeA.00762-14.

Abstract

Here, we announce the complete genome sequence of a novel variant strain of peste des petits ruminants virus, termed China/XJYL/2013. The genome is 15,954 nucleotides long with a 6-nucleotide insertion in the 5' untranslated region of the F gene. This strain is phylogenetically classified as a lineage IV virus.
