Microbiology Resource Announcements 8:e00543- 19. https://doi.org/10.1128/MRA.00543-19.2576-098X (online)10.1128/MRA.00543-19http://hdl.handle.net/2263/75609A hemagglutinating virus isolated during routine surveillance in ostriches was sequenced, identified as avian orthoavulavirus 1 (AOaV-1), and classified as a class I genotype 1.2 virus, with recent common ancestors in Eurasian wild ducks. This is the first class I AOaV-1 isolate from Africa and the first identified in ostriches.en© 2019 Abolnik and Strydom.
