Terminal Genome Sequences of the Soft Tick Bunyavirus

open access: diamondMicrobiology Resource Announcements, 2020
The complete genome sequence of the soft tick bunyavirus (STBV) was obtained using the Sanger sequencing technique. Comparison with other viral sequences revealed that STBV has unique sequences in the terminal regions that are highly conserved among the genus Orthonairovirus .
