Abstract

A novel orbivirus (genus Orbivirus, family Reoviridae), designated Yonaguni orbivirus (YONOV), was isolated from bovine blood collected on a subtropical island of Japan in 2015. The YONOV genome (20,054 nucleotides in total) has a coding arrangement similar to those of mosquito-borne orbiviruses. YONOV has a close genetic relationship to mosquito-borne orbiviruses, especially to Mobuck virus (MBV), which was isolated in North America. However, YONOV and MBV share less than 74% nucleotide sequence identity in the major subcore protein (T2) coding sequence, which satisfies the criterion for species demarcation. It is still uncertain whether YONOV should be assigned to a novel species in the genus Orbivirus.

Ethics statement

No human subjects were used in this study. Bovine blood sampling was conducted as a part of epidemiological investigation based on the domestic animal infectious disease control law in Japan, and the samples were permitted to be used in this study by the animal health authority of Okinawa Prefecture. This study was performed under guidelines provided by the National Institute of Animal Health, NARO, and did not include any animal experiments. Therefore, further approval by an ethics committee was not required.
