Identical genotype B3 sequences from measles patients in 4 countries, 2005

Emerging Infectious Diseases, Volume 12, No. 11, Year 2006

Surveillance of measles virus detected an epidemiologic link between a refugee from Kenya and a Dutch tourist in New Jersey, USA. Identical genotype B3 sequences from patients with contemporaneous cases in the United States, Canada, and Mexico in November and December 2005 indicate that Kenya was likely to have been the common source of virus.
