Abstract

We report here the genome of a mumps virus isolate obtained by next-generation sequencing from Vero E6 cell culture supernatant of cerebrospinal fluid from a 7-year-old boy who presented with meningitis in Vietnam. It belongs to genotype N and is most closely related to mumps virus strains L-Zagreb and L3.
