Complete Genome Sequences of Two Akabane Virus Strains Causing Bovine Postnatal Encephalomyelitis in Japan.

ABSTRACT: Akabane virus (AKAV) (genus Orthobunyavirus, family Peribunyaviridae) is an arthropod-borne virus that causes congenital abnormalities in ruminants. Here, we report the complete genome sequences of two AKAV strains causing nonsuppurative encephalomyelitis in cattle by postnatal infection in Japan.
