Figure 5

Phylogenetic tree of Chinese representative MV strains from 1993 to 2005 and the representative MV strains of H1 genotype based on the 456 nucleotide sequences coding for the COOH-terminus of the nucleoprotein. Three main variants (A, B and C) of cluster 1 genotype with the identical sequence for each variant were identified in mainland and Taiwan of China and Japan from 2000-2005. MeV strains of variant A were isolated from both China and Japan, 2000-2005. Variant B and variant C caused the measles continuous circulation in Mainland China and Japan from 2000-2005, and in Mainland and Taiwan China from 2002-2005, respectively. Sequences of Taiwan, South Korea, Japan and Vietnam obtained from GenBank, GenBank accession numbers are also shown for each strain.
