Abstract
Canine distemper virus causes global multihost infectious disease. This
report details complete genome sequences of three vaccine and two new wild-type
strains. The wild-type strains belong to the South African lineage, and all three vaccine
strains to the America 1 lineage. This constitutes the first genomic sequences of
this virus from South Africa.
