Molecular signature of the Ebola virus associated with the fishermen community outbreak in Aberdeen, Sierra Leone, in February 2015

Genome Announcements, Volume 3, No. 5, Article e01093-15, Year 2015

We report the complete genome sequence of Ebola virus from a health worker linked to a cluster of cases occurring in the fishing community of Aberdeen, Sierra Leone (February 2015), which were characterized by unusually severe presentation. The sequence, clustering in the SL subclade 3.2.4, harbors mutations potentially relevant for pathogenesis.
