Complete Genome Sequence of Nova Virus, a Hantavirus Circulating in the European Mole in Belgium

ABSTRACT The complete genome sequence of Nova virus, a divergent hantavirus, originating from the kidney tissue of a European mole ( Talpa europaea ) from Belgium was determined. The 3 genomic segments have a total length of 11,979 nucleotides, and nucleotide identities to other Nova viruses are between 80 and 89%.
