Abstract

The complete genome sequences of three Ross River virus (RRV) isolates from infected Australian Defence Force (ADF) personnel and from mosquitoes collected in ADF training areas were determined. Phylogenetic analysis in comparison with all available complete RRV nucleotide sequences from GenBank split these three RRV isolates into two distinct sublineages.
