Detection of a new mumps virus genotype during parotitis epidemic of 2006-2007 in the state of São Paulo, Brazil

J Med Virol. 2008 Feb;80(2):323-9. doi: 10.1002/jmv.21068.

Abstract

Nucleotide sequence analyses of the SH gene of 18 mumps virus isolates collected in the 2006-2007 parotitis epidemic in the state of São Paulo identified a new genotype, designated genotype M. This new designation fulfills all the parameters required to define a new mumps virus genotype. The parameters were established by an expert panel in collaboration with the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2005. This information will enhance the mumps virus surveillance program both at the national and global levels.
