The GX1002 strain is a highly pathogenic porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (HP-PRRSV) characterized by a continuous 2-nucleotide deletion at positions 119 and 120 in the 5' untranslated region. This differs from prevalent HP-PRRSVs in China, which have a deletion of only 1 nucleotide at position 119. Here we report the complete genome sequence of the GX1002 strain.
