We present the genome sequences of macropodid alphaherpesviruses 2 and 4, two closely related pathogens of macropods. Both encoded 68 nonredundant open reading frames (ORFs) and share 90.6% genome-wide nucleotide identity. These viruses are associated with fatal outbreaks of disease in multiple marsupial species. These sequences will be important for the development of new diagnostic tools.
我们展示了袋鼠α疱疹病毒2型和4型的基因组序列,这两种病毒是与袋鼠密切相关的病原体。它们都编码68个非冗余开放阅读框(ORF),并且在全基因组范围内具有90.6%的核苷酸同一性。这些病毒与多种有袋类物种的致命疾病暴发有关。这些序列对于开发新的诊断工具将具有重要意义。
