Abstract
To gain further insight into the genomic features of bovine viral diarrhea virus 1 (BVDV-1) subtypes, we sequenced the complete genome of the BVDV-1 isolate VE/245/12. This is an uncommon subtype that was isolated from a persistently infected animal. Here, we report the complete genome sequence, consisting of 12,295 nucleotides (nt) with an open reading frame of 11,694 nt encoding 3,898 amino acids. Phylogenetic analysis of the full-length genome, 5’-UTR, and Npro region confirmed that the BVDV-1 isolate differed significantly from all of the bovine pestiviruses identified so far, providing evidence for the presence of a distinct novel genetic group.
