Full-Genome Sequence of Chicken Anemia Virus Strain GXC060821, Isolated from a Guangxi Sanhuang Chicken.

ABSTRACT: We report here the complete genomic sequence of a novel chicken anemia virus strain GXC060821, isolated from a Sanhuang chicken in Guangxi Province of southern China. The complete genome of GXC060821 was sequenced. The full-length of GXC060821 is 2,292 bp and contains three overlapping open reading frames (ORFs). A comparison of the complete sequences and the deduced amino acid sequences of GXC060821 with 31 other published chicken anemia virus sequences showed that the homologies of the nucleotides are 96.1% to 98.5% and the homologies of the deduced amino acid sequences are 89.8% to 94.2%. Phylogenetic tree analysis indicated that GXC060821 is closely related to the two Chinese strains, TJBD40 (accession no. AY843527) and LF4 (accession no. AY839944), and it has a distant relationship with the American isolate 98D06073 (accession no. AF311900). This report will help to understand the epidemiology and molecular characteristics of chicken anemia virus in a Guangxi Sanhuang chicken.
