Trivittatus virus (family Bunyaviridae, genus Orthobunyavirus) represents an important genetic intermediate between the California encephalitis group and the Bwamba/Pongola and Nyando groups. Here, we report the first complete genome sequence of the prototype (Eklund) strain, isolated in 1948, which, interestingly, shows only a few differences when compared to partial sequences of modern strains.
