Abstract

Here, we report the complete genome sequence of an Indian strain of chikungunya virus isolated from an infected patient from Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh, India, during a massive outbreak in 2005-2006. The genome length spans 11,811 nucleotides and has a poly(A) tail of 29 residues at the 3' end.

Keywords: CHIKV; chikungunya virus; whole genome sequence.
