Abstract
We report here the whole-genome sequence of the first camelpox virus case diagnosed in Israel. The strain (Negev2016) was isolated in 2016 from a camel in southern Israel and was sequenced on the Illumina MiSeq and Oxford Nanopore MinION platforms.
Highlights
Camelpox virus (CMLV) is a double-stranded DNA virus species of the family Poxviridae and the genus Orthopoxvirus
For genome sequencing of the Israeli CMLV, DNA was extracted from Vero cells infected with CMLV using the QIAamp DNA blood minikit (Qiagen)
The library was sequenced on a MiSeq platform (Illumina) using paired-end sequencing reads with 150-nucleotide length and a mean insertion size of 680 nt
