Abstract

Here, we report the 10,807-nucleotide-long consensus RNA genome sequences of three spatiotemporally distinct and genetically divergent Zika virus strains, with the functionality of their genomic sequences substantiated by reverse genetics
 MR-766 (African lineage, Uganda, 1947),
 P6-740 (Asian lineage, Malaysia, 1966),
 and PRVABC-59 (Asian lineage-derived American strain, Puerto Rico, 2015).
