“The sequences of the entire genome of the two viruses -explain from the Experimental Zooprophylactic Institute of Puglia and Basilicata- will be deposited in the public database and will be made available to the international scientific community
On December 21 and 22, explained the Experimental Zooprophylactic Institute of Puglia and Basilicata, the swabs were received from two patients from Apulia, from the United Kingdom, who tested positive for Covid. Both swabs were tested for virus isolation in Vero E6 cells and viral genome sequencing.
“On December 24 -explain Antonio Fasanella general director of the Zooprophylactic Institute and Antonio Parisi, head of the Genetics laboratory of the Putignano section- for one of the samples an extensive cytopathic effect in the cells was highlighted and the Real Time Pcr test confirmed the virus isolation The analysis of the sequences obtained in both samples showed the presence of a viral genotype corresponding to the so-called English variant of SARS Cov2 “.
“The sequences of the entire genome of the two viruses – add Fasanella and Parisi- will be deposited in the public database and will be available to the international scientific community. The isolated viral strain has been frozen in aliquots and is available to any scientific group legally authorized for further study on this particular variant. “
