Abstract

We report two coding-complete genome sequences of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus 2 from field clinical samples obtained in 2021 (BA2021012A) and 2023 (ME20230008B-2) from the Philippines. BA2021012A (15,388 bp) is classified as a lineage L8C strain while ME20230008B-2 (15,513 bp) is a vaccine-like strain in lineage L7.

Keywords: PRRSV-2; coding-complete genomes; nanopore sequencing; porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus.
