Detection of Genotype D8 Measles Virus in Indonesia in 2014

GENETIC DIVERSITY OF MEASLES VIRUS - RESURGENCE OF NEW GENOTYPE D8 IN São Paulo, BRAZIL

Measles virus (MV) has been under control in Brazil because of the high coverage rates of immunization. Emphasized by the measles control global program at the Pan American Health Organization, with the use of several strategies of vaccination programs to reduce the number of circulating chains of transmission of the virus, these programs have successfully decreased the incidence of measles on ...

Detection of Measles Virus Genotype B3, India

Technical Appendix Figure. Phylogenetic analysis of B3 genotype measles virus sequences detected in India with selected global B3 genotypes. A D8 genotype sequence from Thiruvananthapuram was used as the outgroup. We performed maximum-likelihood analysis with 1,000 bootstrap replications using Kimura2-parameter correction with gamma-distributed settings. Solid red triangles indicate strains fro...

Nosocomial and community transmission of measles virus genotype D8 imported by a returning traveller from Nepal.

Measles is uncommon in Australia due to effective national vaccination strategies. In mid-2003, a cluster of nine cases of measles occurred in western Sydney. The index case was a 29-year-old traveller recently returned from Nepal. The case presented to hospital and transmitted the disease to two others in the Emergency Department. Further cases resulted from both community and nosocomial trans...

Detection of the Chinese Genotype of Infectious Bronchitis Virus (QX-type) in Iran

Case Report: Recently a 20-day-old layer flock with mortality has been submitted to the PCR Lab. Infectious Bronchitis Virus (IBV) has been detected in the clinical samples. Results: A phylogenetic tree based on a partial S1 gene sequence showed Iranian IBV variant located in LX4-type cluster. This cluster include all QXIBV-type detected in China and European countries. The highest sequence hom...
