title: Identification and Whole-Genome Sequence Analysis of Tembusu Virus GX2013G, Isolated from a Cherry Valley Duckling in Southern China.
abstract: A duck tembusu virus (DTMUV) was isolated from the brain of a Cherry Valley duckling that showed neurological signs by using a specific-pathogen-free chicken embryo. The isolate was named GX2013G (GenBank accession no. KM275941). The strain GX2013G was identified with reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR), and the amplicon was sequenced. The genome that was obtained is 10,990 nucleotides in length and contains a single open reading frame encoding a putative polyprotein of 3,425 amino acids. This study will advance the understanding of the epidemiology and molecular characteristics of tembusu virus (TMUV) in Guangxi and further studies of the mechanisms of virus replication and pathogenesis.
