Abstract

Partial sequences of the RNA 1 and RNA 2 of LRMV are described. These confirm that LRMV is most closely related to members of the subgroup 2 ilarviruses. However, these sequences also show that LRMV is sufficiently different from other members of subgroup 2 so as to explain why oligonucleotide primers that had been used to amplify related subgroup 2 viruses did not amplify corresponding products from LRMV.
