Abstract

The genome of mumps virus (MuV), a member of the family Paramyxoviridae of the genus Rubulavirus, consists of a single-stranded, negative-sense, nonsegmented RNA. Here, we report the first whole-genome sequence of 15,263 nucleotides of a mumps virus strain from a 6-year-old vaccinated boy in Franceville, southeastern Gabon.
