| Sumario: | Rinderpest Virus (RPV) is the causative agent of a serious disease of domestic cattle. RPV is an enveloped virus with a single stranded, non-segmented, negative RNA genome (-ssRNA), that is organized in six non-overlapping genes. P gene is the most complex of such genes. Its sequence codifies for a structural (P) and two non-structural proteins (C and V). The P protein is essential for viral replication and is involved in every aspect of the viral cycle, whereas, C and V proteins are non essential for viral replication, at least in vitro. Here we have made a comparative analysis of sequences of the P gene and its codified proteins from 16 different isolations of RPV, focusing in conserved regions and its functional role. Rinderpest has been one of the most important threats to the cattle health. Actually, the disease is present just in some regions of Asia. The present comparative genomic analysis will be useful as epidemiological work and an important contribution to the current knowledge of RPV biology. |
