Erratum to: Virus Genes (2014) 49:507–511 DOI 10.1007/s11262-014-1117-1

Unfortunately, we have noticed an error in Materials and methods section of the published article. Instead of “The expected product size was 496 bp (targeted ORF2 genes: position 1096 to 1587 or 1588)”, it should be “The expected product size was 493 bp (targeted ORF2 genes: position 1095 to 1587 or 1096 to 1588)”.
