Viruses were isolated using intracerebrally inoculated newborn mice. Two strains of Paramushir virus (PMRV) (Bunyavirales, Nairoviridae, Orthonairovirus) were obtained: PMRV/Ixodes uriae/Russia/Tyuleniy Island/133/2015 and PMRV/Ixodes uriae/Russia/Tyuleniy Island/137/2015. PMRV-133 and PMRV-137 strain nucleic acid sequences were submitted to GenBank under accession numbers MH124637, MH124638 and MH124634-MH124636, respectively. Phylogenetic analysis showed that both sequenced strains were closely related to PARV LEIV-1149K strain within the Sakhalin virus subgroup.
