Members of the family Iridoviridae are animal viruses that infect only invertebrates and poikilothermic vertebrates. Invertebrate iridescent virus 22 (IIV-22) was originally isolated from the larva of a blackfly (Simulium sp., order Diptera) found in the Ystwyth river, near Aberystwyth, Wales, UK. IIV-22 virions are icosahedral, with a diameter of about 130 nm and contain a dsDNA genome that is 197.7 kb in length, has a G+C content of 28.05 mol% and contains 167 coding sequences. Here, we describe the complete genome sequence of this virus and its annotation. This is the fourth genome sequence of an invertebrate iridovirus to be reported.
虹彩病毒科的成员是仅感染无脊椎动物和变温脊椎动物的动物病毒。虹彩病毒 22 型（IIV-22）最初是从英国威尔士的亚伯里斯特威斯附近的 Ystwyth 河中的一种黑蝇（Simulium sp.，双翅目）幼虫中分离出来的。IIV-22 病毒粒子呈二十面体，直径约为 130nm，含有一个长 197.7kb 的 dsDNA 基因组，G+C 含量为 28.05mol%，包含 167 个编码序列。在这里，我们描述了这种病毒的完整基因组序列及其注释。这是报告的第四个无脊椎动物虹彩病毒的基因组序列。
