Complete Genome Sequence of the Lumpy Skin Disease Virus Recovered from the First Outbreak in the Northern Caucasus Region of Russia in 2015.

ABSTRACT: We report here the complete genome sequence of a lumpy skin disease virus (LSDV) isolate obtained in the Northern Caucasus region of Russia in 2015. The LSDV/Russia/Dagestan/2015 genome sequence grouped with field LSDV isolates found in Serbia and Greece, suggesting the monophyletic origin of LSDV isolates that recently affected countries in the Northern Hemisphere.
