    abstract = {Bovine Ephemeral Fever Virus (BEFV) can cause an acute febrile 
  disease in cattle and water buffalo. Since, the first BEFV JB76H strain was 
  isolated in 1976, frequent epidemics of Bovine Ephemeral Fever (BEF) have been 
  observed in Mainland China for over three decades. The phylogenetic relationships 
  of the Glycoprotein (<I>G</I>) gene of BEFV derived from Mainland China and 
  other areas and countries have not been analyzed. Therefore, the partial fragments 
  (420 bp) of <I>BEFV G</I> gene were amplified and sequenced from JB76H and three 
  field strains obtained from Mainland China. The amplified nucleotide and deduced 
  amino acids sequences were compared with those of other forty seven isolates 
  from Taiwan, Japan, Australia, Turkey and Israel. The homologies of the nucleotide 
  sequences were between 88.1 and 100% and those for the amino acid sequences 
  were between 90.7 and 100%. Based on the corresponding nucleotide sequences, 
  a phylogenetic tree was constructed by the neighbor-joining method using MEGA 
  5 Software in order to analyze the genetic relationships of fifty one isolates 
  of BEFV. The phylogenetic tree showed that the isolates were grouped into three 
  distinct lineages on the basis of their source.}
