AB  - Members of the family Rhabdoviridae have been assigned to eight genera but many 
      remain unassigned. Rhabdoviruses have a remarkably diverse host range that 
      includes terrestrial and marine animals, invertebrates and plants. Transmission 
      of some rhabdoviruses often requires an arthropod vector, such as mosquitoes, 
      midges, sandflies, ticks, aphids and leafhoppers, in which they replicate. Herein 
      we characterize Niakha virus (NIAV), a previously uncharacterized rhabdovirus 
      isolated from phebotomine sandflies in Senegal. Analysis of the 11,124 nt genome 
      sequence indicates that it encodes the five common rhabdovirus proteins with 
      alternative ORFs in the M, G and L genes. Phylogenetic analysis of the L protein 
      indicate that NIAV's closest relative is Oak Vale rhabdovirus, although in this 
      analysis NIAV is still so phylogenetically distinct that it might be classified 
      as distinct from the eight currently recognized Rhabdoviridae genera. This 
      observation highlights the vast, and yet not fully recognized diversity, of this 
      family.
