Genotyping of measles and mumps virus strains using amplification refractory mutation system analysis combined with enzyme immunoassay: a simple method for outbreak investigations.

Abstract excerpt

A simple method, based on a modification of the amplification refractory mutation system (ARMS), for genotyping outbreak strains of measles and mumps viruses and detecting these in a simple enzyme immunoassay (EIA) is described. Fifty-three measles strains circulating at the time of an outbreak in London in 2000 and 26 strains circulating at the time of a mumps outbreak in Accrington, UK, in 1999 were...
