Coding Complete Genome for the Mogiana Tick Virus, a Jingmenvirus Isolated from Ticks in Brazil
Abstract
Mogiana tick virus (MGTV) is a segmented Jingmenvirus isolated in 2011 from cattle ticks in Brazil. Here, we present a coding complete genome for MGTV isolate MGTV/V4/11, including all four segments. MGTV is evolutionarily related to the Jingmen tick virus isolates SY84 and RC27.The Jingmenviruses are a group of segmented, and likely multicomponent, viruses that are evolutionarily related to the unsegmented viruses of the genus Flavivirus (1). Although the Jingmenvirus group has only recently been recognized, with the first virus descriptions published in 2014 (2, 5), known viruses in this group are diverse, globally distributed and capable of infecting a wide range of animal hosts (1, 2, 46). Here, we report the coding complete genome (i.e. only missing portions of terminal untranslated regions) (7) of MGTV/V4/11 isolated from cattle ticks (Rhipicephalus microplus) collected from Holstein bulls in Ribeiro Preto, state of So Paulo, Brazil (2). MGTV was one of the earliest Jingmenviruses to be reported, and at the time of publication, the segmented nature of the genome was not understood. Therefore, only the two genome segments with detectable sequence homology to flaviviruses were originally reported (2). We revisited the dataset of (Maruyama et al. 2014) and assembled coding complete sequences for all four genome segments.
