Genome Sequence of Diabrotica virgifera virgifera virus 2 , a Novel Small RNA Virus of the Western Corn Rootworm, Diabrotica virgifera virgifera LeConte

The genome of a novel small RNA virus, tentatively named Diabrotica virgifera virgifera virus 2 (DvvV2), was identified in the western corn rootworm, Diabrotica virgifera virgifera LeConte, through transcriptome sequencing and confirmed by reverse transcription-PCR. Here, we report the near-complete nucleotide sequence and the genome organization of DvvV2.
