A novel classical swine fever virus (CSFV) strain GNU-240601 was identified from a commercial live Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) vaccine. The whole-genome sequence of GNU-240601 shared the highest similarity with strains belonging to subgenotype 1.1. This is the first identification and complete genome sequence of CSFV from the JEV vaccine.
Keywords: CSFV; complete genome; contaminated JEV vaccine; phylogenetic analysis.
