Genome sequences of three vaccine strains and two wild-type canine distemper virus strains from a recent disease outbreak in South Africa. Genome Announcements: e00603-17.2169-8287http://hdl.handle.net/10566/3076https://doi.org/10.1128/genomeA.00603-17Canine 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.en© 2017 Loots et al.
