Abstract

In this study, we report the complete nucleotide sequence of porcine kobuvirus CH/HZ/2011 (CH/HZ) isolated from infected piglets in China. Dendrograms indicated that CH/HZ is closely related to other porcine kobuviruses. The complete genome sequence of CH/HZ has an adenine insertion at position 124, an 18-nt deletion in the 5′UTR, and a 90-nt deletion in the 2B coding region. A neighbor-joining tree based on the VP1 gene indicated that 31 porcine kobuvirus strains are divided into four clusters (Thai-Japanese group, Hungarian group, Chinese group I and Chinese group II). The strain CH/HZ was included in Chinese group II.
