Abstract
ABSTRACTGetah virus is mosquito-borne and causes disease in horses and pigs. We sequenced and analyzed the complete genomes of three strains isolated from horses in Ibaraki Prefecture, eastern Japan, in 2016. They were almost identical to the genomes of strains recently isolated from horses, pigs, and mosquitoes in Japan.

Getah virus is mosquito-borne and causes disease in horses and pigs
EDTA-treated blood samples were collected from pyretic horses in 2016
The raw signal data were analyzed by using Torrent Suite version 5.0.5, and 14-I-605-C1
Summary
Getah virus is mosquito-borne and causes disease in horses and pigs. We sequenced and analyzed the complete genomes of three strains isolated from horses in Ibaraki Prefecture, eastern Japan, in 2016. EDTA-treated blood samples were collected from pyretic horses in 2016. Three strains (16-I-599, 16-I-674, and 16-I-676) from blood samples that were positive for Getah virus by reverse transcription-PCR [9] were successfully isolated in Vero cells [10].
