Development of multiplex PCR based NGS protocol for whole genome sequencing of West Nile virus lineage 2 directly from biological samples using Oxford Nanopore platform.

West Nile virus (WNV) can affect humans, birds, horses and another mammals, causing asymptomatic infection, mild febrile disease, neurological and systematic disease and death. In order to gain insight into the prevalence of WNV, a monitoring program has been established in the Republic of Serbia. Whole genome sequencing is essential for the molecular epizootiological analysis of virus entry and transmission routes, especially in high-risk regions. This paper describes the development of a multiplex PCR based NGS protocol for whole genome sequencing of WNV lineage 2 directly from biological samples using Oxford Nanopore (ONT) platform. The results obtained using this platform, confirmed by Sanger sequencing, indicate that this protocol can be applied to obtain whole sequences of the WNV genome, even when the virus concentration in the sample is medium, Ct value is approximately 30. The use of this protocol does not require prior virus isolation on cell culture nor the depletion of host nucleic acids.
