The 5' and 3'-terminal sequences of the three RNA molecules which make up the genomes of La Crosse virus are reported. Eleven nucleotides at both the 5' and 3' termini of all three RNAs are conserved and complementary. In addition more extensive unique sequence complementarity is present in at least two of the three RNAs.
