Abstract: Here, we present the complete genome sequences of two Zika virus (ZIKV) strains, Zika virus/ Homo sapiens -tc/THA/2014/SV0127-14 and Zika virus/ H. sapiens -tc/PHL/2012/CPC-0740, isolated from the blood of patients collected in Thailand, 2014, and the Philippines, 2012, respectively. Sequencing and phylogenetic analysis showed that both strains belong to the Asian lineage.
