Abstract

We report here the complete genome sequence of a new strain of Tanay virus, isolate YN15_103_01, which was isolated from Anopheles sinensis mosquitoes caught in China. Sequence analysis showed that it shares a 79% nucleotide sequence identity with the only other previously reported strains of Tanay virus, which were isolated from the Philippines.
