Figure 2

Amino acid similarity of pestiviruses Aydin/04 and Burdur/05 to representative CSFV and BDV polyprotein sequences. The same CSFV and BDV polyprotein sequences as in Figure 1 were used for analysis. Grouping scan was performed with the SSE software platform as described previously, by using a window of 200 aa with 20-aa increments (12). For calculation of genetic distances, the Kimura 2-parameter model was applied. Borders of the mature viral proteins in the polyprotein are given below. BDV, bord

The same CSFV and BDV polyprotein sequences as in Figure 1 were used for analysis. Grouping scan was performed with the SSE software platform as described previously, by using a window of 200 aa with 20-aa increments (12). For calculation of genetic distances, the Kimura 2-parameter model was applied. Borders of the mature viral proteins in the polyprotein of Aydin/04 are given below. BDV, border disease virus; CSFV, classical swine fever virus; C, core protein; E, envelope protein; rns, ribonuclease secreted; Npro, N-terminal autoprotease; NS, nonstructural protein; p7, protein p7.
