The phylogenetic tree based on the TK gene sequences showed that the isolate investigated in this study, was closely related to the ten isolates of FHV-1 ( Figure 2 ), a result consistent with the alignment analysis. By PCR/RT-PCR, the only virus detected in the trachea homogenates was FHV-1, which was confirmed afterwards by virus isolation, the TEM examination of cell cultures showing CPE, and a challenge experiment in cats. In this study, the authors described the first occurrence of feline herpesvirus type 1 (FHV-1) in a South China tiger in China. ./cache/cord-260431-eksl7pp8.txt ./txt/cord-260431-eksl7pp8.txt
