Complete genome sequence of frog virus 3 isolated from a wild Eastern box turtle (Terrapene carolina carolina) in New Jersey, USA

The complete genome sequence of a frog virus 3 (FV3) isolate from a wild Eastern box turtle was determined. Comparative genomic analyses confirmed the close genetic relationship of this virus to previous FV3 isolates from reptiles including box turtles.

本研究测定了一株分离自野生东部箱龟的蛙病毒3型（Frog Virus 3, FV3）分离株的全基因组序列。比较基因组分析证实，该病毒与此前从爬行动物（包括箱龟）中分离得到的FV3分离株具有紧密的遗传亲缘关系。
