Abstract: Disclosed are attenuated viruses , not naturally occurring , that contain one or more additional methylation sites in the genome of the virus compared to the corresponding wild-type virus. Preferably , the methylation sites are added into the genome of the virus by introducing an additional CG segment into the genome by means of a silent mutation. The attenuated viruses are useful for producing an immune response , including both the production of antibodies in animals for diagnostic use and the induction of protective immunity in a subject. Pharmaceutical formulations and methods of making the attenuated viruses are also disclosed.
