Abstract excerpt

Three hundred nine mumps virus (MuV) strains detected in the United Kingdom during 1995-2002 were characterized by partial sequencing of the small hydrophobic gene and were shown to belong to at least 6 different genotypes. A strain representing a new genotype was isolated from a seminal fluid specimen. Identical strains belonging to genotypes G and C were found to circulate for up to 3 years. One genotype H...
