Comparative genomic analyses of a virulent pseudorabies virus and a series of its in vitro passaged strains

Abstract Background Pseudorabies virus (PRV) of the family Herpesviridae is the causative agent of Aujeszky’s disease. Attenuation of PRV by serial passaging in vitro is a well-established method; however, the dynamic variations occurring on viral genome during this process have not been characteriz...
