Abstract
The only complete genome sequence available for bovine herpesvirus 1 (BoHV-1) is a composite sequence derived from four different BoHV-1.1 strains and one BoHV-1.2 strain. Such a chimeric genome sequence is problematic for molecular genetic studies on this virus. We report here the complete genome sequence for the BoHV-1.1 NVSL reference strain Cooper. Although similar to the published chimeric genome sequence, there are a number of nucleotide substitutions and deletions/insertions across the genome, many of which affect coding sequences.
