Genome Sequence of Ruloma Virus, a Novel Paramyxovirus Clustering Basally to Members of the Genus <i>Jeilongvirus</i>

Abstract

We report here the complete genome sequence of ruloma virus, a novel paramyxovirus detected in a Machangu's brush-furred rat from Tanzania. Ruloma virus has the longest orthoparamyxovirus genome reported to date and forms a sister clade to all currently known members of the genus <i>Jeilongvirus</i>.
