Abstract
In this study, we improved a method for rapid determination of viral RNA sequences (RDV) to overcome the limitations of previous versions. The RDV ver4.0 method can detect RNA sequences with at least 1,000 copies as starting material. A novel virus, which was isolated from field-collected Aedes aegypti larvae in the Phasi Charoen district of Thailand using C6/36 cells, was identified using the RDV ver4.0 protocol. The virus was named Phasi Charoen virus (PhaV). We used a high-throughput pyrosequencing approach to obtain more information about the genome sequence of PhaV. Analysis of a phylogenic tree based on amino acid sequences strongly suggested that PhaV belongs to the family Bunyaviridae.Entities:
