Complete Genome Sequence of Japanese Vaccine Strain LA-AKO of Rinderpest Virus.

ABSTRACT: Rinderpest vaccine strain LA-AKO, which is less virulent especially to highly susceptible Asian cattle breeds, was established from a lapinized vaccine strain by further passages in rabbit and chick embryos. Here, we report the genome sequence of LA-AKO, which currently remains active for the production of an emergent vaccine in Japan.
