title: Nucleotide sequence of glycoprotein genes B, C, D, G, H and I, the thymidine kinase and protein kinase genes and gene homologue UL24 of an Australian isolate of canine herpesvirus.
abstract: We report the complete nucleotide (nt) sequence of nine genes of an Australian isolate of canine herpesvirus (CHV). Four of them are located in the unique short (US) region: glycoprotein (g) genes gG, gD and gI, and the protein kinase gene. Five are in the unique long (UL) region: the thymidine kinase gene, gB, gC, gH, and gene homologue UL24. Partial sequence was determined for four genes, two in the UL region (UL21 and virion protein) and two in the US region (US2 and gE). A repeat sequence of 382 nt with unknown function was identified in the 615 nt intergenic region between gH and UL21. A total of 16.93 kb was sequenced and compared with sequences from CHV isolates from the USA, France, Japan and Australia. Only minor nt and/or amino acid (aa) differences were observed.
