Abstract

Here, we report the genome sequence of a novel strain of a Phasi Charoen-like virus, isolated from Aedes aegypti mosquitoes caught in Zhanjiang province of China. Phylogenetic analysis suggested that this virus belongs to a new genus, Goukovirus, in the family Bunyaviridae This is the first reported genome sequence of a Phasi Charoen-like virus identified in China.
