A phylogenetic analysis of samples taken from reported outbreaks of peste des petits ruminants virus (PPRV) in Georgia revealed a closer relationship to viruses from northern and eastern Africa than to viruses from countries closer to Georgia. This finding has crucial implications for the control of PPRV in the region.
对格鲁吉亚报告的小反刍兽疫病毒(PPRV)暴发样本进行的系统发育分析显示,与来自格鲁吉亚附近国家的病毒相比,这些病毒与来自北非和东非的病毒关系更为密切。这一发现对该地区小反刍兽疫病毒的控制具有重要意义。
