Key result
Korean porcine enterovirus B genome shares up to ~80% sequence similarity with previously reported strains.
Why the study?
Complete genome sequences of porcine enterovirus B had been reported from several countries but not from Korea.
The complete genome sequence of a Korean isolate of porcine enterovirus B was determined, showing 73.7-80.3% similarity to previously reported strains.

Korean PEV-B genome sequence expands global repository; leaves open regional evolution and pathogenicity questions.
The complete genome sequence of porcine enterovirus B (PEV-B) from a Korean isolate was analyzed. The genome size was 7,393 bp. Previously, full genome sequences of PEV-B had been reported from the United Kingdom, Hungary, and China. The Korean PEV-B isolate presented polyprotein gene nucleotide sequence similarities of 77.9, 73.7, 78.9, and 80.3%, respectively, to PEV-B UKG/410/73, LP54, PEV15, and Chinese strains (Ch-ah-f1).

Moon et al. (2012) studied Porcine enterovirus B. Genome sequencing was evaluated on Genome size and sequence similarity. The complete genome of a Korean porcine enterovirus B isolate was 7,393 bp in size and shared 73.7% to 80.3% polyprotein gene nucleotide sequence similarity with previously reported strains.
