Abstract

Carp edema virus disease (CEVD), or koi sleepy disease, is caused by CEV. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of CEV strain FTI2020, isolated from koi carp. This sequence information has great potential for improving our understanding of the genetic characteristics of this piscine poxvirus.
