Abstract

We report a nearly complete genome sequence of Ndumu virus (NDUV) identified using a metagenomics approach. The sequence was derived from a viral isolate obtained from a bovine calf following a diagnostic investigation of the 1997 to 1998 Rift Valley fever (RVF) outbreak in the Garissa District of northeastern Kenya.
