Genome Sequence of a Classical Swine Fever Virus of Subgenotype 2.1, Isolated from a Pig in Japan in 2018

Abstract

In 2018, classical swine fever virus (CSFV) was detected in Japan. Here, we report the whole-genome sequence of CSFV/JPN/1/2018. This virus is closely related to isolates in East Asia and is classified under subgenotype 2.1. This is the first detection of a CSFV of this lineage in Japan.
