title: Complete genome sequence of a lineage I peste des petits ruminants virus isolated in 1969 in west Africa.
abstract: We report the complete genome sequence of a lineage I peste des petits ruminants virus (E32/1969) isolated in a Senegalese laboratory in 1969. This is the earliest peste des petits ruminants virus of any lineage sequenced to date and only the second lineage I virus available in public databases.
