AI Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed measles virus samples from Uganda collected between 2006 and 2009 to identify circulating genotypes following control measures.
- Only genotype B3.1 was found in Uganda, marking its first detection in the country.
- The likely source of this genotype is Kenya, but the possibility of other countries being involved cannot be ruled out.
Article Abstract
To determine what measles virus genotype(s) circulated in Uganda after strategic interventions aimed at controlling/eliminating measles, we examined samples obtained during 2006-2009 and found only genotype B3.1, which had not been previously detected. Kenya was the likely source, but other countries cannot be excluded.
