Complete Genome Characterization of a Canine Distemper Virus Isolated from Chinese Raccoon Dog in China
Mingwei Tong, Li Yi and Shipeng Cheng

Abstract: In January 2013, several clinical signs of Chinese raccoon dog with diarrhea, cough, nasal discharge and fever were reported in Jilin province, China. One virus named CDV-RD-JL was isolated and identified. Complete genome of the virus is 13590nt in length and contains 6 genes including 3’ leader sequence,the nucleocapsid gene (N), the phosphoprotein gene (P), the matrix protein gene (M), the fusion protein gene (F), Hemagglutinin protein gene (H), the large protein gene (L), 5’ trailer sequence. Phylogenetic analysis of N, P, H and F gene demonstrated the virus belonged to Asia-1 and genetically related to the CDV strains CYN07-hV and CDV SY from China in 2010. This was the first confirmed isolation of CDV circulating in Chinese raccoon dogs.
