Abstract

An outbreak of viral encephalitis occurred in Gorakhpur, India, from July through November 2005. The etiologic agent was confirmed to be Japanese encephalitis virus by analyzing 326 acute-phase clinical specimens for virus-specific antibodies and viral RNA and by virus isolation. Phylogenetic analysis showed that these isolates belonged to genogroup 3.

Sequence phylogeny based on partial E gene sequence of Japanese encephalitis virus isolates from the Gorakhpur epidemic, with reference to other Southeast Asian isolates. The tree was generated by neighbor-joining method. Each strain is abbreviated with the country of origin, followed by the year of isolation. Bootstrap values are indicated at the major branch points.
