The deduced 5’-UTR and 3’-UTR nucleotide sequences of the new-branch strains compared with the reference PRRSV strains. (A) The positions of the deduced 5’-UTR nucleotide sequences relative to the VR-2332 strain. (B) The positions of the deduced 3’-UTR nucleotide sequences relative to the VR-2332 strain. Purple indicates the common nt deletions of intermediate PRRSV, new-branch PRRSV and HP-PRRSV, while green indicates new deletions on this basis; a red box indicates a highly conserved motif at positions 117–120 in the 3’-UTR, yellow represents the motif of the new-branch PRRSV, and cyan represents the motif of the Classical strain, intermediate strain and HP-PRRRSV. The new-branch PRRSV strains obtained in this study are labeled with red triangles (▲). The strains obtained from GenBank belonging to the new branch are marked with blue squares (■).
