Nested PCR was used to amplify envelope V3-V6 gene fragments of feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) from New Zealand cats. Phylogenetic analyses established that subtypes A and C predominate among New Zealand cats, with clear evidence of intersubtype recombination. In addition, 17 sequences were identified that were distinct from all known FIV clades, and we tentatively suggest these belong to a novel subtype.
采用巢式聚合酶链反应(Nested PCR)从新西兰猫中扩增猫免疫缺陷病毒(FIV)包膜V3-V6基因片段。系统发育分析表明,A和C亚型在新西兰猫中占主导地位,并有明显的亚型间重组证据。此外,还鉴定出17个与所有已知FIV进化枝不同的序列,我们初步认为这些序列属于一个新的亚型。
