猪瘟病毒C株(脾淋毒)全长cDNA分子几个突变位点的重组改造

采用RT-PCR、Nested PCR和Half-nested PCR技术从试验感染兔脾组织的总RNA中得到了猪瘟病毒(CSFV）C株全长cDNA的3个待改造片段，分别克隆于pMD18-T载体后进行测序。用重组技术分别从前期构建的5′半长cDNA或3′半长cDNA中替换F1、F3和F51，构建成2个新的半长cDNA，进一步连接成新的全长cDNA，经测序证实全长cDNA中3个致死性突变位点均得到改正。初步鉴定证明该全长cDNA具有感染性。为猪瘟病毒C株反向遗传操作系统的建立奠定了基础。     

Phylogenetic analysis of recent classical swine fever virus (CSFV) isolates from Assam, India

Classical swine fever (CSF), a highly contagious viral disease of pigs, is endemic in India. As there is no information concerning the accurate genetic typing of classical swine fever virus (CSFV) isolates in India, 16 CSF viruses isolated during 2005-2007 from domestic pigs in different districts of Assam were typed in 5′ UTR (150 nucleotides). To confirm the genetic typing results and to study the genetic variability, selected viruses were also analyzed in E2 (190 nt) and NS5B gene (409 nt) regions. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that all the 16 CSFV isolates analyzed belonged to group 1 and subgroup 1.1 in contrast to the situation in other Asian countries. Additionally, analysis in E2 and NS5B region placed the Indian isolates in a clearly separated clade within subgroup 1.1. The results suggest that subgroup 1.1 CSF viruses are currently circulating in India, which is important for epidemiology and control of CSF.
