Characterization of two decades of temporal co-circulation of four mumps virus genotypes in Denmark: identification of a new genotype.

Abstract excerpt

Twenty-nine Danish virus isolates and 14 serum samples from patients with mumps were genotyped by nucleotide sequencing of the small hydrophobic (SH) protein gene and the deduced 57 amino acid sequences were aligned with sequences of mumps virus strains published previously. Four neurovirulent genotypes of the SH protein gene, genotypes C, D, H and a new genotype, designated J, were found. There was a dynamic...
