Abstract

Here, we report the complete genome sequence of Epizootic hemorrhagic disease virus (EHDV) serotype 6 (EHDV-6), isolated from a Florida white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) in 2016. To our knowledge, this is the first full genome sequence determined for an EHDV-6 isolate from Florida.
