Complete Genome Sequences of Five Rabies Virus Strains Obtained from Domestic Carnivores in Liberia

Similar to other African countries, canine rabies is endemic in Liberia. However, data concerning the genetic diversity of rabies virus isolates circulating in this country remain limited. We report here the complete genome sequences of five rabies viruses obtained from domestic animals. All of them belonged to subgroup H within the Africa 2 clade.
