[Method] The strain was isolated from infected samples by cel passage and preliminarily identified by PCR and IFA. Ful-length genome of the isolated strain was obtained by specific amplification for homology and phylogenetic analysis. [Result] A PCV2 strain was successful y isolated and named 201105ZJ, which could proliferate in PK15 cel lines. Specific fragments could be amplified by specific PCR assay. According to results of IFA assay, specif-ic immunofluorescence was observed; the TCID50 was low (102.67); the ful-length genome sequence of the isolated strain was 1 768 bp, sharing 94.1%-96.8% ho-mology with 13 reference strains; to be specific, the isolated strain exhibited the highest homology of 96.8% with AF055392PCV2a; the isolated strain 201105ZJ and reference strain AF055392 belonged to genotype PCV2a, exhibiting a distant genetic relationship with genotype PCV2c. [Conclusion] Characteristics of genetic variation of PCV2 isolate 201105ZJ provided theoretical basis for vaccine development, investi-gation of PCV2 pathogenesis, and prevention and control of porcine circovirus-as-sociated diseases (PCVAD) in East China.展开更多
