title: Relationship between measles outbreaks based on genetic analysis of measles virus genomes detected in patients in Poland between 2006 and 2012.
abstract: This study describes the molecular characterization of 56 MeV strains obtained from 56 patients in Poland from 2006 to 2012. The C-terminal fragment of nucleoprotein gene was analysed. It has been found out during 2006 and 20012 MeV strains circulating in Poland belonged to genotypes D4, D5, D6 and B3. The D4 strains isolated in Poland were different from any other D4 strain circulating at the same time in Europe, whereas all other MeV strains isolated during 2007-2012 were related to strains from other countries. The present data suggest that after 2006 the MeV strains were imported.
