Abstract
Hog cholera virus (HoCV) 5' terminus of the ALD and GPE(-) strains wer e analyzed by using rapid amplification of cDNA end method (5'RACE). A n additional nine nucleotides were found at the 5' termini of genomic RNA in the ALD and GPE(-) strains of HoCV. These nine nucleotides were also conserved in BVDV and were suggested to form a hairpin structure at the 5' terminus by computer-assisted analysis. It seems possible t hat the secondary structure and/or the 5' terminus sequence has a sign ificant role in the HoCV virus genome.
