چکیده (انگلیسی):

tThis communication reports full genome sequencing of the bluetongue virus-1 (BTV-1) iso-late MKD20/08/Ind from goat in northern India. The total BTV-1 genome size was foundto be 19,190 bp. A comparison study between the Indian isolate and other global isolatesrevealed that it belongs to the ‘Eastern’ BTV topotype. The full genome sequence of BTV-1will provide vital information on its geographical origin and it will also be proved useful forcomparing the Indian isolate with global isolates from other host species.© 2016 Sociedade Brasileira de Microbiologia.
