Abstract
AbstractA novel lymphocystivirus causing typical signs of lymphocystis virus disease in whitemouth croaker (Micropogonias furnieri) on the coast of Uruguay was detected and described recently. Based on genetic analysis of some partially sequenced core genes, the virus seemed to differ from previously described members of the genus Lymphocystivirus. In this study, using next-generation sequencing, the whole genome of this virus was sequenced and analysed. The complete genome was found to be 211,086 bp in size, containing 148 predicted protein-coding regions, including the 26 core genes that seem to have a homologue in every iridovirus genome sequenced to date. Considering the current species demarcation criteria for the family Iridoviridae (genome organization, G+C content, amino acid sequence similarity, and phylogenetic relatedness of the core genes), the establishment of a novel species (“Lymphocystis disease virus 4”) in the genus Lymphocystivirus is suggested.
