Abstract
A large measles virus outbreak occurred across Vietnam in 2014. We identified and obtained complete measles virus genomes in stool samples collected from two diarrheal pediatric patients in Dong Thap Province. These are the first complete genome sequences of circulating measles viruses in Vietnam during the 2014 measles outbreak.
Highlights
A large measles virus outbreak occurred across Vietnam in 2014
Measles vaccination is implemented in the Extended Programme for Immunization in Vietnam, measles virus infection is still prevalent in Vietnam, as demonstrated by a recent outbreak of measles virus in 2014 (2)
Nucleic acid was purified from fecal samples, converted to double-stranded DNA using random primers (6), and sequenced with Illumina HiSeq to generate 4 million 250-nucleotide pairedend reads per sample
Summary
A large measles virus outbreak occurred across Vietnam in 2014. We identified and obtained complete measles virus genomes in stool samples collected from two diarrheal pediatric patients in Dong Thap Province. Measles virus was estimated to have caused 30,000 infections, with 146 deaths (2).
