Nucleotide sequence of the gene encoding the RNA polymerase and the 3' non-coding region of a bovine enterovirus Japanese isolate: rapid synonymous substitutions between European and Japanese strains.
The nucleotide sequences of the genome RNA encoding the RNA polymerase and the 3' non-coding region (NCR) of bovine enterovirus (BEV) serotype I Japanese isolate, MZ468, were determined. The genetic distance between the two BEV serotype I strains, MZ468 and VG-5-27, was calculated by pairwise comparison of nucleotide sequences. The synonymous substitution rate was high (1.40 x 10(-2)/site/year), and of the same order as those of influenza virus HA, HIV-1 gag and env, and enterovirus 70 VP1 genes.
