MV wild-type (wt) infection chains have been recently observed all over Europe. In 2013, 704 measles cases were reported in Upper Bavaria and 306 in Munich.

In this report, the authors isolated MV from a throat swab from a patient with typical clinical symptoms using Vero-hSLAM cells. The authors then report the complete genome sequence of a wild-type measles virus isolated from a patient in Munich (MVi/Muenchen.DEU/19.13[D8]) during a German measles outbreak in 2013.

ABSTRACT

Measles virus induces an acute disease with rash and fever. Despite ongoing vaccination and elimination campaigns, the measles virus still sustains long-lasting transmission chains in Europe. Here we report the complete genome sequence of a wild-type measles virus isolated from a patient in Munich (MVi/Muenchen.DEU/19.13[D8]) during a German measles outbreak in 2013.
