| The species Bovine rhinitis B
virus belongs to the genus Aphthovirus
and consists of a single serotype, bovine rhinitis B virus.
So far only one virus isolate has been described, EC-11 and it was
originally named bovine rhinovirus 2 (BRV-2; Reed
et al., 1971). Initial partial sequence analysis of the BRV-2 genome
showed that it was more closely related to the aphthoviruses than to
the rhinoviruses (Knowles, 2005). Since then the (nearly) complete
genome sequence of EC-11 has been published and the relationship to
the aphthoviruses confirmed (Hollister et al., 2008). References Hollister, J.R., Vagnozzi, A., Knowles, N.J. and Rieder, E. (2006). Molecular analysis of bovine rhinovirus type 2 shows a close relationship to the aphthoviruses.
