title: Identification of a new mumps virus lineage by nucleotide sequence analysis of the SH gene of ten different strains.
abstract: The SH gene and its flanking sequences have been analysed for 10 strains of mumps virus (MuV) and compared to 5 others. A new lineage has been identified among UK isolates. Changes in the transcription pattern could not be correlated with differences in the sequences of the F-SH and SH-HN intergenic regions of the genome.
