Within the red spotted grouper nervous necrosis virus (RGNNV) strain, to which all Asian grouper NNV belong, however, no one so far has reported evidence of genetic subgrouping by region, species or year in a formal statistical manner, especially when we restrict hosts just to Asian grouper. The goal of this report was to collate the most comprehensive data set to date on NNV RNA2 sequences for warm water Asian marine finfish, whether published and/or lodged in Genbank over the last 20 years, including some sequence data produced by our group for Vietnamese and Taiwanese grouper, to statistically test the data for evidence of NNV strain variation that associates with geography, host species and year and also to determine whether there are "characteristic attributes" that indicate regional (or host, year) specific differences among the strains. ./cache/cord-002673-5a1rfi6k.txt ./txt/cord-002673-5a1rfi6k.txt
