Fig. 4. A comparison of nucleotide sequences of the 5 FCV isolates recovered in this study. The sequence alignment results of the 5 isolates for 232 bp on the PCR fragments are presented. They were all identified as FCVs by blast n search in NCBI database. The sequence similarity of the 5 FCV isolates ranged from 75.4% to 95.2% each other.
