# Complete genome sequence of turbot circovirus strain TurCV10LN-18/2021 from diseased Scophthalmus maximus

## TL;DR

This paper presents the full genome sequence of a circovirus found in sick turbot fish in China, which causes a deadly disease in farmed turbot.

## Contribution

The study provides the first complete genome sequence of the TurCV10LN-18/2021 strain, aiding in understanding circovirus epidemiology in turbot.

## Key findings

- The complete genome sequence of TurCV strain TurCV10LN-18/2021 was identified in diseased turbot in China.
- The virus is linked to the emerging acute hemorrhagic syndrome in farmed turbot.
- The genome sequence will help study the spread and evolution of circoviruses in turbot.

## Abstract

We reported the complete genome sequence of turbot circovirus (TurCV) strain TurCV10LN-18/2021, detected in a diseased turbot (Scophthalmus maximus) in China. TurCV is responsible for the emerging acute hemorrhagic syndrome (EAHS) in farmed turbot. The availability of the complete genome sequence facilitates the investigation of circovirus epidemiology in turbot.
