Whole Genome Sequencing of Five Strains of PCV1 in Hunan Province and Analysis on Their Genetic Evolution
In order to identify the genetic variation of porcine circovirus type 1(PCV1)in pigs in Hunan Province,taking PCV1 positive DNA as a template,two sections of PCV1 gene sequence were amplified by PCR and then spliced together to form the whole genome. Five strains of whole genomes were obtained,in which,three were 1759 bp,and two were 1758 bp and 1760 bp,respectively. The homology of the whole genome was 98.4% to 99.7%,which shared the homology of 98.1% to 99.7% with other whole genomes of PCV1;the homology of ORF2 sequence was 97.6% to 99.6%,which shared the homology of 96.1% to 99.9% with other PCV1 ORF2. As indicated by the phylogenetic tree,all the five strains belonged to the same branch with slightly geographical difference. In conclusion,the strains were steadily prevalent in Hunan Province with little difference. A foundation was thereby provided for future prevention and control of PCV in Hunan and for relevant studies.
