Abstract
A new Getah virus (GETV) strain, B254, was isolated from Culex fuscocephalus mosquitoes captured at Mount Ophir, Malaysia, in 2012. Phylogenetic analyses revealed that GETV B254 is distinct from the old Malaysia GETV MM2021 strain but closely related to group IV GETV from Russia (LEIV16275Mag), China (YN12031), and Thailand (GETV/SW/Thailand/2017).

Phylogenetic analyses revealed that GETV B254 is distinct from the old Malaysia GETV MM2021 strain but closely related to group IV GETV from Russia (LEIV16275Mag), China (YN12031), and Thailand (GETV/SW/Thailand/2017)
The newly isolated Malaysia GETV B254 is phylogenetically distinct from the ancestral Malaysia MM2021. It clustered within the GIV clade, which included the strains recovered in Russia (LEIV16275Mag, 2007), China (YN12031, 2012) and Thailand (GETV/SW/Thailand/2017)
