  abstract = {{M}osquitoes collected in {F}inland were screened for flaviviral {RNA} leading to the discovery and isolation of a novel flavivirus designated {H}anko virus ({HANKV}). {V}irus characterization, including phylogenetic analysis of the complete coding sequence, confirmed {HANKV} as a member of the "insect-specific" flavivirus ({ISF}) group. {HANKV} is the first member of this group isolated from northern {E}urope, and therefore the first northern {E}uropean {ISF} for which the complete coding sequence has been determined. {HANKV} was not transcribed as {DNA} in mosquito cell culture, which appears atypical for an {ISF}. {HANKV} shared highest sequence homology with the partial {NS}5 sequence available for the recently discovered {S}panish {O}chlerotatus flavivirus ({SO}c{FV}). {R}etrospective analysis of mitochondrial sequences from the virus-positive mosquito pool suggested an {O}chlerotatus mosquito species as the most likely host for {HANKV}. {HANKV} and {SO}c{FV} may therefore represent a novel group of {O}chlerotatus-hosted insect-specific flaviviruses in {E}urope and further afield.},
