Homogeneity of vaccine strains in an agalaxy- high-burden environment.

Background And Objectives: Interrogation of the genomic relations between Iranian vaccine strains of Taliqan, Lorestan and Shiraz.

Materials And Methods: Two MLVA (covering VNTR loci of 5, 9, 17 and 19) and MLST (comprising C, genes) genotyping systems plus nucleotide structure analysis of P80 gene, was conducted.

Results: The shared MLVA pattern represented by the three strains differed to that of the PG2 laboratory strain, only at locus VNTR19 where the PG2 genome hold a 3 bp longer stretch.
