Comparative sequence analysis of VP4s from five Australian porcine rotaviruses: implication of an apparent new P type

Virology. 1993 Sep;196(1):319-27. doi: 10.1006/viro.1993.1482.

Abstract

VP4s from five Australian porcine rotaviruses (CRW-8, BEN-307, BMI-1, MDR-13, and TFR-41) were sequenced and analyzed. Strains with distinct VP7s were demonstrated to have closely related VP4s similar to OSU. However, MDR-13 which manifested both G3 and G5 specificity was found to contained a unique VP4 which contained 2368 nucleotides, six bases longer than the longest VP4 ever reported.
