Complete genome sequences of Pilchard orthomyxovirus (Sardinovirus pilchardus) isolated from farmed Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar), wild Australian pilchards (Sardinops sagax) and wild yellow-eyed mullet (Aldrichetta forsteri)
Pilchard orthomyxovirus (POMV) is the causative agent of salmon orthomyxoviral necrosis in farmed Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar). Here we present an updated reference genome of POMV, including full-length genome segments with previously unreported sequences in the untranslated regions and evidence of spliced mRNA transcripts putatively encoding novel viral proteins.
