Complete Genome Sequence of an Ictalurid Herpesvirus 1 Strain Isolated from Blue Catfish (Ictalurus furcatus)

Abstract

The complete genome sequence of an alloherpesvirus isolated from blue catfish (<i>Ictalurus furcatus</i>) is reported. Genomic analyses revealed that this virus is a distinct strain of ictalurid herpesvirus 1, the first strain of which was isolated previously from a channel catfish (<i>Ictalurus punctatus</i>).
