Abstrakt: Here, we report the isolation and genome sequencing of a new Pacmanvirus-related isolate, Tornadovirus japonicus , from the Tamagawa River in Japan. This icosahedral virus has a genome of approximately 380 kb and 465 open reading frames, including two tRNA genes. The name "tornado" is based on its morphological features revealed by transmission electron microscopy analysis.
