Here, we report the complete genome sequence of psittacine adenovirus 2 from a moribund African grey parrot ( Psittacus erithacus ) with neurological signs and systemic inflammation. The complete siadenovirus genome is 25,386 bp in size. The results of genetic and phylogenetic analyses support its c...
