New Measles Genotype, Uganda
We report the first genetic characterization of wildtype measles viruses from Uganda. Thirty-six virus isolates from outbreaks in 6 districts were analyzed from 2000 to 2002. Analyses of sequences of the nucleoprotein (N) and hemagglutinin (H) genes showed that the Ugandan isolates were all closely related, and phylogenetic analysis indicated that these viruses were members of a unique group wi...
متن کاملNew Measles Virus Genotype Associated with Outbreak, China
To determine the origin of the virus associated with a measles outbreak in Menglian County, Yunnan Province, People's Republic of China, in 2009, we conducted genetic analyses. Phylogenetic analyses based on nucleoprotein (N) and hemagglutinin (H) gene sequences showed that these Menglian viruses were not closely related to sequences of any World Health Organization (WHO) reference strains repr...
متن کاملDetection 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...
متن کاملAchieving measles control: lessons from the 2002-06 measles control strategy for Uganda.
BACKGROUND The 2002-06 measles control strategy for Uganda was implemented to strengthen routine immunization, undertake large-scale catch-up and follow-up vaccination campaigns, and to initiate nationwide case-based, laboratory-backed measles surveillance. This study examines the impact of this strategy on the epidemiology of measles in Uganda, and the lessons learnt. METHODS Number of measles...
متن کاملGENETIC 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 ...
