Abstract

We report the presence of West Nile virus in a cryopreserved, dengue-negative serum specimen collected from an acute fever case on Java in 2004-2005. The strain belongs to genotype lineage 2, which has recently been implicated in human outbreaks in Europe.

A 184 basepair ns5 nucleotide sequence fragment from Bandung, Indonesia (sample HTV236-01) was aligned with other West Nile virus (WNV) sequences from GenBank using BioEdit. The maximum likelihood tree was constructed by using software MEGA5. Bootstrap values are expressed as a percentage of 1,000 replicates.
