Abstract

Enzootic nasal adenocarcinoma (ENA) of goats, characterized by transformation of epithelial cells of the ethmoid turbinates, is caused by enzootic nasal tumor virus 2 (ENTV-2). ENTV-2 belongs to the genus Betaretrovirus and has extended its distribution globally with a high prevalence; however, the genetic diversity and genotypic distribution for ENTV-2 have not been analyzed systematically due to the limited availability of sequence data. In this study, an infection by ENTV-2 was detected by RT-PCR in Chongqing in July 2018, and the complete sequence of one strain (CQ1) was determined. Phylogenetic analysis indicated a high degree of genetic heterogeneity among ENTV-2 sequences, with the existence of two main lineages. Lineage 1 and 2 were composed of ENTV-2 from China and the UK, respectively. Although CQ1 was closely related to recent ENTV-2 strains collected in the neighboring provinces of Chongqing (Shaanxi and Sichuan), it formed a separate sublineage of lineage 1 (sublineage 1.3). This report will enhance our understanding of the epidemiology of ENTV-2 in China.
