Abstract

Here, we reported the complete coding sequence of the influenza A/equine/Otar/3/2007 (H3N8) equine virus, first isolated in Kazakhstan in 2007. The hemagglutinin (HA) sequences of the Kazakhstan isolates appeared to be closely related to viruses isolated in early 2000 in Asia. Phylogenetic analysis characterized the Kazakhstan isolates as a member of the Florida sublineage clade 2 by the HA protein sequence.
