The complete genome sequence of a reassortant field strain of bluetongue virus serotype 16 (BTV-16), isolated from cattle in the Apulia region of Italy in 2002, has been determined by Illumina sequencing. Sequence comparisons of segment 1 (Seg-1) to Seg-10, except Seg-5, show that BTV-16 strain ITL2002 belongs to the major eastern topotype of BTV.
2002年从意大利普利亚地区的牛身上分离出的蓝舌病毒血清型16(BTV-16)重组田间毒株的完整基因组序列已通过Illumina测序确定。除第5节段(Seg-5)外,第1节段(Seg-1)至第10节段的序列比较表明,BTV-16毒株ITL2002属于BTV的主要东部拓扑型。
