Table 2 GeneBank Accession numbers for genes sequenced.

^an.d., not deposited as the sequence for this region was 100% identical to the same region from strain 57A.
* The 1 bp deletion is at position 272 of the DQ902562 gene sequence. The deletion causes a frameshift resulting in an in-frame stop codon at position 275–277 of the DQ902562 sequence.
** The 1 bp substitution that results in a transversion of C to A is at position 695 of the DQ272240 sequence.
