A new article published in PLOS ONE describe sets of PPRV sequences which have been filtered for sequencing errors and unnecessary duplicates, and for which date and location information has been obtained, either from the database entry or from other published sources. These sequence datasets are freely available for download, and include smaller datasets which maximise phylogenetic information from the minimum number of sequences, and which will be useful for simple lineage identification. The article is available here. Annually updated datasets and proposed convention for PPRV sequence curations can be downloaded on the website of OIE PPR reference laboratory network.
