Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The analysis of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of varicella-zoster virus (VZV) has enabled differentiation between wild-type genotypes from the Oka vaccine strain (V-Oka). OBJECTIVES: To genotype VZV strains in Australia using high-resolution melt (HRM) analysis of SNPs in five gene targets. STUDY DESIGN: Extracted DNA from 78 samples obtained from patients with chickenpox and zoster were...
