Complete genome of Aedes japonicus narnavirus from wild caught mosquitoes collected in Ohio, USA.

Narnaviruses infect several genera of mosquitoes including and . The narnavirus genome is a positive, single stranded RNA encoding an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase gene. The partial genome of a narnavirus identified in wild mosquitoes collected in Wooster, Ohio, USA was obtained using metagenomic analyses. Rapid amplification of 5'-cDNA ends (RACE) and Sanger sequencing were used to obtain the remaining genomic sequence of this strain. The complete genome is composed of 3153 nucleotides and has 98.4% and 99.1% nucleotide sequence identity with narnavirus genomes identified in Netherlands and Japan.
