We sequenced the genome of a hirame novirhabdovirus isolate recovered from a white bass (Morone chrysops). Hirame novirhabdoviruses are in the genus Novirhabdovirus, along with infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus and viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus. This detection highlights that the full host range of rhabdoviruses in fish is not fully understood.
