The reported genome sequence helps in understanding the molecular diversity of CSFV strains in China and aids in vaccine development.
May inform CSFV surveillance in China; leaves open vaccine candidate selection and validation.
We report the complete genome sequence of a field isolate of classical swine fever virus (CSFV), Hunan 23/2013, belonging to the predominant subgenotype 2.1b. This strain was originally isolated from diseased pigs in Hunan Province, China. This report will help in understanding the molecular diversity of CSFV stains circulating in China and in selecting and developing a suitable vaccine candidate for CSF control.
