Near-Complete Genome Sequence of Lotschberg Virus (Mononegavirales: Filoviridae) Identified in European Perch (Perca fluviatilis Linnaeus, 1758).

ABSTRACT: We obtained the near-complete genome sequence of a novel virus, Lötschberg virus (LTBV), from a European perch metatranscriptome. Genome organization and pairwise sequence comparison indicated that LTBV represents a tentative new species and genus of the mononegaviral family Filoviridae.
