## TL;DR

This paper reports the full genome sequence of a measles virus from Morocco and shows it is closely related to a U.S. isolate.

## Contribution

The paper provides a new coding-complete genome sequence of a measles virus isolate from Morocco and identifies its lineage.

## Key findings

- The genome sequence of a measles virus isolate from Rabat, Morocco, was determined.
- The isolate belongs to lineage B3 and is closely related to a U.S. isolate.

## Abstract

We determined the coding-complete genome sequence of a measles virus that was isolated in Rabat from a Moroccan patient on 23 March 2024. Phylogenetic analysis showed that this virus, named MVi/Rabat.MAR/29.24, belongs to lineage B3 and is closely related to a USA isolate.
