Molecular characterization of an Akabane virus isolate from West Java,Indonesia

[摘要] We isolated an arbovirus from bovine blood in Indonesia. The arbovirus was obtained fromthe plasma of a cow showing no clinical symptoms in West Java in February 2014, and wasidentified as Akabane virus (AKAV) by AKAV-specific RT-PCR and subsequent sequenceanalysis. Phylogenetic analysis based on partial S segment indicated the AKAV isolate,WJ-1SA/P/2014, was most closely related with two isolates from Israel and Turkey reportedin 2001 and 2015, respectively, and that WJ-1SA/P/2014 isolate belongs to AKAV genogroupIb. This is the first isolation of AKAV from Indonesia.
