Complete Genome Sequences of Two Astrovirus MLB1 Strains from Bhutanese Children with Diarrhea

Genome Announc. 2013 Jul 25;1(4):e00485-13. doi: 10.1128/genomeA.00485-13.

Abstract

In addition to the eight genotypes of classic human astroviruses, seven new genotypes have been reported from two novel clades, MLB and VA. However, the epidemiology of these highly diverse astroviruses remains largely unknown. We report here the complete genome sequences of two MLB1 strains from Bhutanese children with diarrhea.
