Bovine ephemeral fever virus (BEFV) is an economically important arbovirus affecting cattle and water buffalo. Currently, isolates can be separated into three phylogenetic groups, differentiated by the place of isolation, namely, East Asia, Australia, and the Middle East. BEFV surface glycoprotein (G) genes from 14 South African field strains collected between 1968 and 1999 were sequenced and compared to 154 published sequences. The BEFV isolates from South Africa were found to be phylogenetically distinct from those from other parts of the world.
牛暂时热病毒（BEFV）是一种经济上重要的虫媒病毒，影响牛和水牛。目前，分离株可根据分离地点分为三个进化群，即东亚、澳大利亚和中东。对 1968 年至 1999 年期间从南非采集的 14 株野外分离株的 BEFV 表面糖蛋白（G）基因进行了测序，并与 154 个已发表的序列进行了比较。南非的 BEFV 分离株与世界其他地区的分离株在系统进化上存在明显差异。
