One primer was designed from common hairpin conserved region of Alphavirus. Two fragments were amplified by single primer differential RT PCR, and they were cloned into pGEM T vector. Sequences were determined, and then analyzed by Software and GenBank. Results showed that the 1118pb long fragment was highly homologous to the sequence of Sindbis like virus S.A.A.R86. The homogeneity of the 1118bp fragment between YN87448 virus strain and S.A.A.R86 virus strain was 98%. Single primer differential RT PCR is a useful method with simple, economic, and practical value for Alphavirus identification.展开更多
