Molecular characterisation of virulence graded field isolates of myxoma virus

Table 3 Mutations detected in TIR genes^a.

▼, insertion; nt, nucleotide residue; aa, amino acid residue; FS, predicted M002L ORF frame shift (¹⁶GGGAPYGADRGKCRGNDYEKD... to ¹⁶GGRCPVWRGSRKM*); * indicates STOP codon.(f) gene fragment.
^aFor clarity only the coordinates of changes occurring in the L-TIR genes are indicated. nt positions refer to the MV Lu genome (GenBank accession number AF170726).
^b Strain virulence grade and identification number are indicated. Virulence grades being equivalent to the grades I-V previously designated by Fenner and Marshall [10].
