We investigated the possibility of in vitro recombination of three different strains of feline herpesvirus type 1 (FHV-1), a virulent strain (C7805), a vaccine strain (F2), and a candidate vaccine strain with a deletion in the thymidine kinase gene (C7301dlTK). The results showed that recombination within different genotypes of FHV-1 strains could occur at a relatively high frequency ranging from 10.1% to 21.5% in vitro. These results indicate the generation of multiple mutant viruses by in vitro recombination experiments. The possibility for generating a virulent virus or novel type of FHV-1 by recombination in vivo is discussed.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009154 Mutation Any detectable and heritable change in the genetic material that causes a change in the GENOTYPE and which is transmitted to daughter cells and to succeeding generations. Mutations
D011995 Recombination, Genetic Production of new arrangements of DNA by various mechanisms such as assortment and segregation, CROSSING OVER; GENE CONVERSION; GENETIC TRANSFORMATION; GENETIC CONJUGATION; GENETIC TRANSDUCTION; or mixed infection of viruses. Genetic Recombination,Recombination,Genetic Recombinations,Recombinations,Recombinations, Genetic
D002415 Cats The domestic cat, Felis catus, of the carnivore family FELIDAE, comprising over 30 different breeds. The domestic cat is descended primarily from the wild cat of Africa and extreme southwestern Asia. Though probably present in towns in Palestine as long ago as 7000 years, actual domestication occurred in Egypt about 4000 years ago.
