Key result
Transmissible gastroenteritis virus strain SOA and mutated derivative SOAp90 closely resemble the Vietnamese VET-16 strain.
Population
A diarrheic piglet in South Korea
Comparison
Transmissible gastroenteritis virus strain SOA vs serially passaged derivative SOAp90
Design
Genome sequencing report
New TGEV genomes aid surveillance databases; leaves open functional effects of passaging mutations.
We report the coding-complete genome sequences of a transmissible gastroenteritis virus strain, SOA, isolated from a diarrheic piglet in South Korea, and its serially passaged derivative, SOAp90. Both strains were closely related to the Vietnamese VET-16 strain, and SOAp90 contained multiple mutations.
