During late 2010, a previously unrecognised strain of measles genotype G3 virus was identified in five different European countries by the World Health Organization Measles and Rubella Laboratory Network.Apart from one, none had a travel history to south-east Asia, the usual source of G3 viruses, although epidemiological links could be established between some of the cases. This case series illustrates the value of genotyping and sequencing in tracking measles infections, and identifying otherwise unrecognised chains of transmission.
2010 年末，世界卫生组织麻疹和风疹实验室网络在五个不同的欧洲国家发现了一种以前未被识别的麻疹基因型 G3 病毒。除了一例之外，这些国家均无前往 G3 病毒常见来源东南亚的旅行史，尽管一些病例之间可以建立流行病学联系。本病例系列说明了基因分型和测序在追踪麻疹感染和发现其他未被识别的传播链方面的价值。
