Sequence analysis of the RNA polymerase gene of African horse sickness virus.
Vreede FT., Huismans H.
The gene encoding the inner core protein VP1 of African horse sickness virus (AHSV) serotype 9 has been cloned, expressed in vitro and entirely sequenced, completing molecular characterization of the AHSV genome. An analysis of the sequence supporting the identity of AHSV VP1 as the putative viral RNA polymerase is presented.
