Whole-genome sequencing of a pandoravirus isolated from keratitis-inducing acanthamoeba
Abstract
Following the recent discovery of two Pandoravirus species in 2013, a previously described endocytobiont isolated from the inflamed eye of a patient with keratitis was subjected to whole-genome sequencing (WGS). Here, we present the complete genome sequence of a new Pandoravirus isolate.
