Complete Genome Sequence of Porcine Kobuvirus Strain WUH1

Porcine kobuvirus, an emerging virus, was first identified in Hungary in 2007. We report here the complete genome sequence of porcine kobuvirus strainWUH1 isolated from piglets with severe diarrhea, which will help toward understanding the molecular and evolutionary characteristics of the porcine kobuvirus. Kobuvirus is a newgenus in the familyPicornaviridae. Todate, thegenus Kobuvirus consists of only two established species, Aichi virus and bovine kobuvirus, and the tentative species porcine kobu-virus (10).More recently, kobuviruses or kobu-like viruses have also been detected in sheep, bats, and dogs (6, 11). Porcine kobuviruswas first identified in 2007 inHungary (8). Since then, porcine kobuvirus was reported inmany countries, including Japan, SouthKorea, Thai
