Abstract
Hog cholera virus (HoCV) 5′ terminus of the ALD and GPE(−) strains were analyzed by using rapid amplification of cDNA end method (5′RACE). An additional nine nucleotides were found at the 5′ termini of genomic RNA in the ALD and GPE(−) strains of HoCV. These nine nucleotides were also conserved in BVDV and were suggested to form a hairpin structure at the 5′ terminus by computer-assisted analysis. It seems possible that the secondary structure and/or the 5′ terminus sequence has a significant role in the HoCV virus genome.
