Abstract
ABSTRACTHere, we present the complete genome sequences of two Zika virus (ZIKV) strains, EcEs062_16 and EcEs089_16, isolated from the sera of febrile patients in Esmeraldas City, in the northern coastal province of Esmeraldas, Ecuador, in April 2016. These are the first complete ZIKV genomes to be reported from Ecuador.
Highlights
We present the complete genome sequences of two Zika virus (ZIKV) strains, EcEs062_16 and EcEs089_16, isolated from the sera of febrile patients in Esmeraldas City, in the northern coastal province of Esmeraldas, Ecuador, in April 2016
ZIKV was detected in both patient sera samples using the Genesig Dengue, Zika and Chikungunya Virus Multiplex real-time assay kit on a BioRad CFX96 system, following the manufacturer’s guidelines (Genesig, United Kingdom)
ZIKV was propagated from sera by inoculation of C6/36 cell monolayers (Aedes albopictus; European Collection of Authenticated Cell Cultures (ECACC), United Kingdom)
