The authors wish to correct the reported genome sequence of the bovine astrovirus CH15 (BoAstV-CH15) strain (GenBank accession number KT956903.1). Resequencing or the entire viral genome by two additional runs of Sanger sequencing of RT-PCR amplicons in addition to 5′ and 3′ RACE showed previously unrecognized additional 171 nt at the 5′ end of the viral genome and a 9 nt insertion in open reading frame 1a. The GenBank database entry has been updated accordingly (GenBank accession number KT956903.2).
