Complete genome sequence of bluetongue virus serotype 9: implications for serotyping.
The second complete genome of bluetongue virus serotype 9 (BTV-9) is presented in this report. The sequence analysis points to continued circulation in India of a mixed topotype virus apparently belonging to the BTV-9 serotype, and it raises questions about approaches for serotyping bluetongue viruses.
