We isolated Getah virus from infected foxes in Shandong Province, eastern China. We sequenced the complete Getah virus genome, and phylogenetic analysis revealed a close relationship with a highly pathogenic swine epidemic strain in China. Epidemiologic investigation showed that pigs might play a pivotal role in disease transmission to foxes.
我们从中国东部山东省感染的狐狸中分离出了基孔肯雅病毒。我们对基孔肯雅病毒的全基因组进行了测序,系统进化分析显示其与中国高致病性猪流行株密切相关。流行病学调查显示,猪可能在疾病向狐狸传播中起关键作用。
