Abstract:
Koutango virus (KOUV), a close relative of West Nile virus, is highly neuroinvasive in animal models and has been associated with human disease. The complete genome of the KOUV prototype strain DakAnD5443 is reported here and may facilitate development of infectious clones for further characterization of this novel flavivirus.
