Restriction endonuclease analysis of BHV-1 and BHV-5 strains isolated in Argentina.
The genomes of 10 bovine herpesvirus 1 and 5 strains isolated in Argentina from 1989 to 1994, recovered from animals showing different clinical signs, and two reference strains (Los Angeles and A663) were compared by restriction endonuclease analysis. Four restriction enzymes, HindIII, BamHI, EcoRI and PstI, were used and analysis of the restriction patterns used to assign the isolate to either the BHV-1.1, BHV-1.2 or BHV-5 genotype. There was a correlationship between restriction pattern and clinical signs in six out of ten Argentinian isolates.
