The full-length nucleotide sequences of genome segments 1, 5, 7, 8 and 10 from Ndelle virus (NDEV) have been characterized. Comparison of the deduced protein amino acid sequences with those of other member viruses of the family Reoviridae demonstrates that NDEV was originally assigned incorrectly to the genus Orbivirus (aa identity values of < 20%). In contrast, high levels of amino acid identity were found with members of the species Mammalian orthoreovirus (MRV); for example, amino acid identity in gamma3(Pol) is between 91 and 97%. These findings, together with previous antigenic analyses, provide evidence that NDEV should be reclassified as a new serotype (designated MRV-4) within the Mammalian orthoreovirus species.
