Geographical distribution of the herpes simplex virus type 1 BgKL variant in Japan suggests gradual dispersion of the virus from Shikoku Island to the other Islands.

Abstract excerpt

Restriction endonuclease fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) is useful for the epidemiological study of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1). We report here the identification of a major BglII RFLP variant of HSV-1, designated BgKL, found in 27.0% of 636 HSV-1 clinical isolates. We have also established its geographic distribution in Japan. BgKL has an unusually large BglII K fragment. SalI cleavage analyses...
