The samples were phylogenetically analyzed with previous ORF5 sequences including type I Korean PRRSV and previously reported or collected sequences from 1997 to 2008. A MN184-like subgroup of type II Korean PRRSV was newly identified in the viremic sera collected from 2007 to 2008. And of the type I PRRSVs one subgroup had similarity with the Lelystad virus showing a close relationship with the 27 2003 strain of Spain. The maximum parsimony tree of type II PRRSV from 1997 to 2008 showed that they had evolved to four lineages subgroups 1 2 3 and 4. Most of the recently collected type II PRRSVs belonged to subgroup 4 48 . The region of three B-cell epitopes and two T-cell epitopes of ORF5 amino acids sequences was considerably different from the MLV in subgroups 3 and 4. In conclusion the existence of type I PRRSV which was genetically different from Lelystad virus Prototype of type I PRRSV and heterologous type II PRRSVs of viremic pigs detected even in the .
