# Complete genome sequence of a novel classical swine fever virus subgenotype 1.1 detected from a live Japanese encephalitis virus vaccine in South Korea

## TL;DR

A new classical swine fever virus was found in a Japanese encephalitis vaccine in South Korea, marking the first such discovery.

## Contribution

First complete genome sequence of classical swine fever virus from a Japanese encephalitis vaccine.

## Key findings

- GNU-240601 shares highest similarity with subgenotype 1.1 CSFV strains.
- This is the first CSFV identified in a live JEV vaccine.

## Abstract

A novel classical swine fever virus (CSFV) strain GNU-240601 was identified from a commercial live Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) vaccine. The whole-genome sequence of GNU-240601 shared the highest similarity with strains belonging to subgenotype 1.1. This is the first identification and complete genome sequence of CSFV from the JEV vaccine.
