Complete genomic sequences of Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus subtype IIID isolates from mosquitoes

Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus (VEEV) is an important pathogen of medical and veterinary importance in the Americas. In this report, we present the complete genome sequences of five VEEV isolates obtained from pools of Culex ( Melanoconion ) gnomatos (4) or Culex ( Melanoconion ) pedroi (1) fr...

Zusammenfassung:Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus (VEEV) is an important pathogen of medical and veterinary importance in the Americas. In this report, we present the complete genome sequences of five VEEV isolates obtained from pools of Culex ( Melanoconion ) gnomatos (4) or Culex ( Melanoconion ) pedroi (1) from Iquitos, Peru. Genetic and phylogenetic analyses showed that all five isolates grouped within the VEEV complex sister to VEEV IIIC and are members of subtype IIID. This is the first report of full-length genomic sequences of VEEV IIID.
