Abstract

Canine distemper virus causes global multihost infectious disease. This report details complete genome sequences of three vaccine and two new wild-type strains. The wild-type strains belong to the South African lineage, and all three vaccine strains to the America lineage. This constitutes the first genomic sequences of this virus from South Africa.
