Atypical Porcine Pestiviruses: Relationships and Conserved Structural Features

Viruses. 2021 Apr 26;13(5):760. doi: 10.3390/v13050760.

Abstract

For two decades, the genus pestivirus has been expanding and the host range now extends to rodents, bats and marine mammals. In this review, we focus on one of the most diverse pestiviruses, atypical porcine pestivirus or pestivirus K, comparing its special traits to what is already known at the structural and functional level from other pestiviruses.

Keywords: atypical porcine pestivirus; pestivirus; phylogeny; structural relationsship.
