Whole-genome sequencing surveillance of Siberian tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) identifies an additional lineage in Kyrgyzstan by Jake D'Addiego, Mollie Curran-French, Jack Smith, Asankadyr T Junushov, Irena Breininger, Barry Atkinson, John Hay, Roger Hewson

“…Whilst we were able to retrieve the first partial TBEV sequence from Kyrgyzstan from Ixodes persulcatus ticks, we were unable to retrieve a complete genome sequence at that time.In this study, we have utilised a sequence-independent single-primer amplification (SISPA) protocol and retrieved the complete genome sequence of our previous 2009 TBEV tick sample (strain KY09) producing the third complete TBEV genome from Kyrgyzstan, and the first genome from the region clustering within the Vasilchenko lineage, suggesting a wider distribution for the lineage than was previously thought.We have also developed a tiling amplicon scheme for Siberian TBEV (TBEV-Sib) which produced > 90 % reference coverage at 100x sequencing depths for samples with as little as 1.13×104 RNA copies/ml. …”
