show Abstracthide AbstractTiLV is an important viral pathogen affecting Tilapia species worldwide. It causes significant impacts on production, livelihood and food security. Development of rapid diagnostic tools to generate genomic data for fine epidemiology and surveillance are needed.This is the first study to explore the usage of singleplex and multiplex RT-PCR enrichment approaches coupled with Nanopore amplicon based sequencing to obtain whole genome of the virusThis work was undertaken as part of the CGIAR Research Program on Fish Agri-Food Systems (FISH) led by WorldFish, the CGIAR Big Data Platform Inspire Challenge 2019 led by CIAT and IFPRI and is supported by contributors to the CGIAR Trust Fund: https://www.cgiar.org/funders/.
