Abstract

Here, we report the detection of a novel alphavirus in Australian mosquitoes, provisionally named Yada Yada virus (YYV). Phylogenetic analysis indicated that YYV belongs to the mosquito-specific alphavirus complex. The assembled genome is 11,612 nucleotides in length and encodes two open reading frames.
