[Genetic characterisation of wild measles strains circulating in European part of Russia in 1998-2002].
The primary structure of the N-gene COOH terminus of measles virus isolated, 1998-2000, in Russia's European part was investigated. The general analysis as well as an analysis of the primary gene structure showed the two group's isolates as belonging to the D4 genotype. A subsequent analysis of the primary structure of the N-gene COOH-terminus of Moscow/2002/61 isolated during the 2002 measles outbreak in Moscow also showed it as belonging to the D4 genotype. The obtained data are indicative of that the wild measles strains belonging to the D4 genotype have been recently circulating in Russia's territory.
