Isolation and genome sequences of two Feline Morbillivirus genotype 1 strains from Italy

Abstract

Feline morbillivirus (FeMV) is a novel viral paramyxovirus detected in cats. FeMV is suspected to be associated to tubulointerstitial nephritis, but its pathogenic role is far to be clearly understood. In this short communication, we report the whole genome coding sequences of the first two FeMV strains isolated in Italy.
