Abstract

Here, we report the complete genome sequence of psittacine adenovirus 2 from a moribund African grey parrot (Psittacus erithacus) with neurological signs and systemic inflammation. The complete siadenovirus genome is 25,386 bp in size. The results of genetic and phylogenetic analyses support its classification as a member of a novel species within the genus Siadenovirus. This study represents the first report of the genome sequence of an adenovirus from an African grey parrot.
