Sequence analysis determined that the virus is Yata virus (YATAV; <i>Ephemerovirus yata</i>; family <i>Rhabdoviridae</i>). The only previous reported isolation of YATAV was in 1969 in Birao, Central African Republic, also from <i>Ma. uniformis</i> mosquitoes. The current sequence is over 99% identical at the nucleotide level to the original isolate, indicating a high level of YATAV genomic stability.Diseases (Basel, Switzerland)21https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC9944095biostudies-literatureYata Virus (Family <i>Rhabdoviridae</i>, Genus <i>Ephemerovirus</i>) Isolation from Mosquitoes from Uganda, the First Reported Isolation since 1969.PMC9944095Powers AMLutwama JJMutebi JPPerinet LCMossel ECfalseYata Virus (Family <i>Rhabdoviridae</i>, Genus <i>Ephemerovirus</i>) Isolation from Mosquitoes from Uganda, the First Reported Isolation since 1969.As a part of a systematic study of mosquitoes and associated viruses in Uganda, a virus was isolated from a pool of <i>Mansonia uniformis</i> collected in July 2017, in the Kitgum District of northern Uganda.
