Complete Genome Sequence of a Lineage I Peste des Petits Ruminants Virus Isolated in 1969 in West Africa

ABSTRACT We report the complete genome sequence of a lineage I peste des petits ruminants virus (E32/1969) isolated in a Senegalese laboratory in 1969. This is the earliest peste des petits ruminants virus of any lineage sequenced to date and only the second lineage I virus available in public databases.
