Recombinant viruses exhibited replication kinetics similar to those of the parental strain, and characterization of RNA species after several passages revealed that foreign inserts had the same genetic stability as the BVDV 3′NTR. The generation of such BVDV recombinants is relevant for several applications., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/jgv/10.1099/vir.0.016998-0
