چکیده

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 fluctuation of the different genotypes over the two decade period of time. Genotype J was found from 1981 to 1988; genotypes C and H exhibited a similar distribution in time. Genotype D was found between 1979 and 1982, it then disappeared and reappeared again in 1996. From 1996 onwards, genotype D was found to be the predominant genotype, which is in contrast to the situation seen in the neighbouring country of Sweden, where, since 1985, only genotype A has been found.

Characterization of three co-circulating genotypes of the small hydrophobic protein gene of mumps virus.

Eighteen virus isolates and 22 serum samples collected between 1971 and 1997 from patients with mumps were genotyped by PCR with specific primer pairs for the A, C and D genotypes of the small hydrophobic (SH) protein gene. All serum samples were subjected to nucleotide sequence analysis of the gene, and the deduced 57-amino-acid sequences were aligned with previously published sequences from t...

Mumps Virus Genotyping: Basis and Known Circulating Genotypes

Although mumps virus (MV) is considered antigenically monotypic, twelve different genotypes of MV based on genetic variation in the SH gene (A to L) are currently recognised by the WHO. Both dominance of a single genotype and co-circulation of different genotypes in the same geographical area, as well as temporal replacement of genotypes have been described in different countries. The different...

Molecular identification of mumps virus genotypes from clinical samples: standardized method of analysis.

A sensitive nested reverse transcription-PCR assay, targeting a short fragment of the gene encoding the small hydrophobic protein (SH gene), was developed to allow rapid characterization of mumps virus in clinical samples. The sensitivity and specificity of the assay were established using representative genotypes A, B, C, D, E, and F. Mumps virus RNA was characterized directly from cerebrospin...

Emergence of a New Genotype of Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever Virus in Iran

Background and Aims: Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is a fatal viral disease that occurs in approximately 30 countries. It has the most extensive geographic range among the tick-borne viruses that affect human health. CCHF viruses have a tripartite RNA genome consisting of large (L), medium (M) and small (S) segments. This study was undertaken to determine the genetic relationship of CC...

Fingerprinting of some Egyptian rice genotypes using Intron-exon Splice Junctions (ISJ) markers

DNA fingerprinting has become an important tool for diversity assessment and varietal identification in plant breeding programs. Semi- random PCR primers targeting intron-exon splice junctions (ISJ) were used to evaluate the potential of these markers in identification and classification of rice genotypes. A total of 12 ISJ primers were used for screening fourteen Egyptian rice genotypes, inclu...
