Abstract
An invertebrate iridovirus (designated AMIV) was isolated from adult wild-captured Anopheles minimus mosquitoes in China. AMIV was pathologically and morphologically characterized and sequenced using the Ion Torrent™ sequencing platform. Phylogenetic analysis based on both the major capsid protein and core genes revealed that AMIV differs from all the members of the family Iridoviridae. The AMIV negatively strained virion has a diameter of about 130nm. AMIV contains a linear DNA molecule of 163,023bp, with 39% G+C content and 148 coding sequences. The genome analysis revealed that AMIV genome encodes a high content of replication associated genes including BRO-like genes. This is the ninth complete genome of IIV reported.Entities:
