Genomic characterization of Lumpy Skin Disease virus (LSDV) from 2019 outbreak in India reveals circulation of Kenyan-like LSDV strains with unique kelch-like proteins
Abstract:Lumpy skin disease (LSD) is an economically important poxviral disease
endemic to Asia, Europe, and Africa. Recently, LSD has spread to naïve
countries, including India, China, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Myanmar,
Vietnam, and Thailand. Here, we describe the complete genomic
characterization of LSDV from India, LSDV-WB/IND/19 isolated from a calf
in Vero cells determined by Illumina next-generation sequencing (NGS).
The LSDV-WB/IND/19 has a genome size of 150969 bp encoding 156 putative
ORFs. Phylogenetic analysis b… Show more
