A new subgroup 2 bovine adenovirus proposed as the prototype strain 10.
A slowly growing subgroup 2 bovine adenovirus (BAV) strain designated Ruakura 78-5371 was isolated from a yearling heifer with systemic adenovirus infection. Cross neutralization tests and restriction endonuclease analysis of the viral DNA showed the virus to be distinct from the other 9 recognised types of BAV. It is proposed that this strain should be regarded as the prototype strain of the new type BAV-10.
