Complete genome sequence of a street rabies virus isolated from a rabid dog in China

J Virol. 2012 Oct;86(19):10890-1. doi: 10.1128/JVI.01775-12.

Abstract

A rabies virus (RABV) was isolated from a dog in Anhui Province, China, in 2008. The virus was designated DRV-AH08. Its entire genome was sequenced and found to be closely related to RABV recently isolated in China and other Asian countries (homology of 87 to 98%) but distantly related to RABV in the "cosmopolitan" group (homology of 84 to 85%) in the clade I of RABV.
