[7][8], Once the virus has entered a host cell, its strand of negative sense ssRNA (single stranded RNA) is used as a template to create a positive sense copy, using the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase that's included in the virion. Additional guidance for use of the MeVA assay can be found on the APHL web sitepdf iconexternal icon. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The virus is enveloped by a lipid membrane and glycoproteins H and F are virion surface proteins that are associated with this lipid membrane. Moraten, Edmonston-Zagreb) are genotype A. Public Health England It is important to note that genotyping information does not change the basic steps of public health investigations of measles, which include laboratory confirmation of measles infection, obtaining immunization histories for confirmed cases, identifying sources of infection, assessing potential for transmission and identifying contacts without presumptive evidence of immunity, classifying importation status, and obtaining specimens for viral isolation. Within a genotype there may be multiple distinct genetic lineages. The viral genome also codes two non-structural proteins C and V. These non-structural proteins are innate immunity antagonists; they help the virus to escape host immune response. Email: prota@cdc.gov, Dr. Bettina Bankamp The only member of the Rubivirus genus, Rubella Virus is only known to infect humans and is responsible for the common childhood disease known as German Measles or Three Day Measles. In outbreak situations, some people may be recently vaccinated and exposed to a measles case. Then this copy is used to create a new negative copy, and so on, to create many copies of the ssRNA. † The standard sequence window for measles virus is the 450-nucleotide carboxy-terminal of the nucleocapsid gene in the MeV genome; the standard sequence window for rubella virus is a 739-nucleotide fragment (nucleotides 8,731–9,469) in the E1 gene in the RuV genome. A virus cannot replicate alone. Often, they kill the host cell in the process, and cause damage to the host organism. The entire N-450 sequence is required for determination of the genotype (1). Virus isolates also contribute to the strain bank at CDC and provide valuable research material. [11], Other analysis has suggested that the divergence may be even older because of the technique's tendency to underestimate ages when strong purifying selection is in action. Since it is important to determine very rapidly if suspected cases are true measles cases or vaccine reactions, the CDC and APHL-VPD Reference Centers offer the Measles Vaccine (MeVA) Assay. The measles virus has two envelope glycoproteins on the viral surface – hemagglutinin (H) and membrane fusion protein (F). linear arrangement of genes that are separated by an intergenic trinucleotide, GAA. However, on days 0-2 after rash onset, 23% of measles patients do not have detectable levels of IgM in their serum (5), leading to a possible false-negative case classification. Genotyping results can help confirm, disprove, or detect connections among cases. The genotyping scheme was introduced in 1998 and extended in 2002 and 2003. Like many viruses, the measles virus packages its genome into capsids formed by individual proteins that self-assemble into a large three-dimensional structure. [2] For wild type and vaccine strains, extracellular domains of CD150 (SLAM or SLAMF1) [3][4] and/or of nectin-4 (also called Poliovirus-Receptor-Like 4 (PVRL4)) [5][6] mainly work as cell entry receptors. Most genetic groups have worldwide distribution; however, at least two of the groups appear to have a more limited circulation. The real-time RT-PCR is more sensitive than endpoint RT–PCR assay for detection of measles RNA in clinical samples, while the endpoint assay is routinely used to amplify the region of the measles genome required to determine the genotype. [10][13] The current epidemic strain evolved at the beginning of the 20th century—most probably between 1908 and 1943.[14]. The cell line is not distributed to laboratories outside the WHO GMRLN without Dr. Yanagi’s and WHO’s permission. Detection of viral RNA in clinical samples by real-time RT-PCR can support case confirmation and is especially sensitive if samples are collected as early as possible after rash onset. N, P and … [12] There is some linguistic evidence for an earlier origin within the seventh century. It must be performed together with a standard real-time RT-PCR assay that detects all measles strains, such as the CDC real-time RT-PCR assay. Viral Vaccine-Preventable Diseases Branch We sequenced the genome of a 1912 measles virus and used selection-aware molecular clock modeling to determine the divergence date of measles virus and rinderpest virus. The genome encodes eight proteins, two of which (V and C) are nonstructural proteins and are transcribed from the phosphoprotein (P) gene. Currently, 23 subtypes are recognised. Genotyping is routinely performed on RNA isolated from clinical samples. [17], In the early stages of infection, the measles virus via CD150 (SLAMF1) receptor infects immune cells located in the host respiratory tract such as macrophages and dendritic cells. The cell line Vero/hSLAM is used only for laboratory diagnosis of measles and rubella viral infection by virus isolation and/or investigation of measles or rubella strains for molecular epidemiological purposes. Sarah Zhang January 9, 2020. Email: kevin.brown@phe.gov.uk. During outbreaks, measles vaccine is administered to help control the outbreak, and in these situations, vaccine reactions may be mistakenly classified as measles cases. Viral Vaccine-Preventable Diseases Branch USA Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Viruses must infect cells and use components of the host cell to make copies of themselves. The full name should be given. Vero/hSLAM cells are Vero cells that have been stably transfected with a plasmid encoding the gene for the human SLAM molecule (4). The measles virus RNA genome consists of approximately 16,000 nucleotides and is enclosed in a lipid-containing envelope derived from the host cell. Vero/hSLAM cells were developed by Dr. Yusuke Yanagi, Kyushu University, Kukuyoka, Japan. The viral genome also codes two non-structural proteins C and V. These non-structural proteins are innate immunity antagonists; they help the virus to escape host immune response. Infection confers lifelong immunity. Instead, laboratories may refer samples from suspected measles cases to the APHL-VPD Reference Centers. Helfand RF, Heath JL, Anderson LJ, Maes EF, Guris D, Bellini WJ. Only three genomes from measles viruses occurring before 1990 are known; the oldest is one isolated in 1954 that was turned into the first measles vaccine. The MeVA assay is a real-time RT-PCR assay that detects only measles vaccine strains. Because persons with vaccine reactions are not contagious, it is not necessary to conduct outbreak control measures such as contact investigations. The following 19 genotypes have been detected since 1990: A*, B2, B3, C1, C2, D2, D3, D4, D5, D6, D7, D8, D9, D10, D11, G2, G3, H1, H2. Until recently, it had become rare in the United States. (required), Country, use 3-letter ISO designation (required), Date of rash onset if known, otherwise date of specimen collection by epidemiological week (1-53) and year. Each gene Genotype data should be reviewed in conjunction with epidemiological information, such as travel and exposure histories, to determine which country may be the source of an imported US case. Detection of measles RNA in a clinical sample can provide laboratory confirmation of infection. Minor fraction of wild type virus strains and all modern vaccine strains derived from the Edmonston strain also use CD46. Humans are the natural hosts of the virus; no animal reservoirs are known to exist. Any publication of work using the Vero/hSLAM cell line acknowledges the original publication (Ono et al. In addition, P mediates interaction with the nucleoprotein (N)-encapsidated viral RNA genome. This divergence date represents the earliest possible date for the establishment of measles in … A virus is a small collection of genetic code, either DNA or RNA, surrounded by a protein coat. Replication requires a viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRP) consisting of the large (L) polymerase protein complexed with the homo-tetrameric phosphoprotein (P). This divergence date represents the earliest possible date for the establishment of measles in human populations. Inside the virion genomic RNA is forming complex with N, L and P proteins. Three receptors for the H protein have been identified to date: complement regulatory molecule CD46, the signaling lymphocyte activation molecule (SLAMF1) and the cell adhesion molecule Nectin-4. CDC is not responsible for Section 508 compliance (accessibility) on other federal or private website. In this study, we demonstrate that, following an extended period of virus replication in producer or cancer cell lines, the quasispecies consensus sequence of vaccine strain-derived measles virus accrues a remarkably small number of mutations throughout the nonsegmented negative-stranded RNA genome. The positive sense ssRNA is then mass translated by host ribosomes, producing all viral proteins. The COVID-19 pandemic has already caused over 1 million deaths. The eight clades are designated A to H, with numerals to identify the individual genotypes. Dr. Paul Rota Upon request, viral sequencing and analysis can be provided for measles virus characterization as well as storage of viral strains. Atlanta, Georgia, 30329 The virus is highly contagious and is spread by coughing and sneezing via close personal contact or direct contact with secretions. For each genotype, a reference strain is designated for use in genetic analysis (phylogenetic analysis), usually the earliest known virus isolate of that group. Ono N, Tatsuo H, Hidaka Y, Aoki T, Minagawa H, Yanagi Y et al. Despite the variety of measles genotypes, there is only one measles serotype. measles virus. (See Specimen Collection, Storage, and Shipment). The virus is spread by coughing and sneezing via close personal contact or direct contact with secretions. 2001;75:4399-4401). The advantage to the Vero/hSLAM cells is that, unlike the B95a cells, they are not persistently infected with Epstein-Barr virus. Rubella can also cause arthritic symptoms, most commonly in women Rubella Virus can be prevented with the MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella) Vaccine which makes the virus uncommon in countries where vaccine… The virus causes measles, a highly contagious disease transmitted by respiratory aerosols that triggers a temporary but severe immunosuppression. This means that its genetic information is stored as RNA. The vaccine strain of measles virus can be distinguished from wild-type viruses by determination of the genotype from clinical samples or virus isolates. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) cannot attest to the accuracy of a non-federal website. However, genotyping alone is not sufficient, since each genotype can circulate in multiple countries and even in different regions of the world. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention United Kingdom Here, we sequenced the genome of a 1912 measles virus and used selection-aware molecular clock modeling to determine the divergence date of measles virus and rinderpest virus. He has kindly agreed to allow the WHO GMRLN to use these cells under the following conditions: In countries that have eliminated measles or are close to elimination, it is important to identify every case of measles. Measles is caused by Rubeola virus, which belongs to the Paramyxovirus family.Measles is an acute systemic viral infection with fever, respiratory involvement and symptoms, and a rash. [18][19][20] They transmit the virus to the lymphoid organs, from which it spreads systemically. About 5% of recently vaccinated persons develop symptoms of rash and fever. The measles virus evolved from the now eradicated but formerly widespread rinderpest virus, which infected cattle. Rota PA, Brown K, Mankertz A, Santibanez S, Shulga S, Muller CP et al. Measles morbillivirus (MeV), formerly called measles virus (MV), is a single-stranded, negative-sense, enveloped, non-segmented RNA virus of the genus Morbillivirus within the family Paramyxoviridae. Genotyping can also distinguish whether a person has wild-type measles virus infection, or a rash caused by a recent measles vaccination. Thus, antibodies against one genotype (such as the vaccine strain) protect against all other genotypes. 1997. These proteins are responsible for host cell binding and invasion. The sensitivity of Vero/hSLAM cells for isolation of measles virus is equivalent to that of B95a cells, which were recommended in the past. Wild-type measles viruses have been divided into eight clades containing 24 genotypes based on the nucleotide sequences of their hemagglutinin (H) and nucleoprotein (N) genes, which are the most variable genes in the viral genome. The Vero/hSLAM cell line [hSLAM=human signaling lymphocytic activation molecule] is recommended for use in the laboratories that provide measles surveillance as part of the World Health Organization’s Global Measles and Rubella Laboratory Network (WHO GMRLN) (3). The Viral Vaccine-Preventable Diseases Branch of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta, Georgia, USA, and the Virus Reference Department, Public Health England (PHE) in London, UK, were selected to serve this purpose. Because measles is rare in the US, it is not cost-effective for many laboratories to maintain testing capability. For questions about molecular diagnostics of measles, to obtain protocols or positive controls, contact Dr. Paul Rota or Dr. Bettina Bankamp. Measles virus has a single, non-segmented, negative-sense RNA genome with a .

Negative-stranded RNA linear genome, about 15-16 kb in size. The infection of epithelial cells allows the virus to be released via the airstream. However, virus isolates provide more genetic material for sequencing, which is especially important for extended sequencing windows or whole genome sequencing. Peebles’ work paved the way for a vaccine. The viral genomic RNA is single-stranded, nonsegmented, and of negative polarity and encodes six major structural proteins. The measles virus genome encodes six proteins, which are enough to choreograph its highly infectious life cycle. The APHL-VPD Reference Centers perform molecular testing for measles and other vaccine-preventable diseases on behalf of public health laboratories that have enrolled as submitting sites. The measles genome consists of 15,894 nucleotides although some variation in genome length has been described [2]. So Calvignac-Spencer turned to … This provides a significant safety advantage for laboratorians and greatly facilitates international shipments of virus isolates. GENOME. London NW95EQ Molecular epidemiology of measles viruses is an important component of outbreak investigations and is used for global surveillance of circulating wild–type measles strains. Scientists have managed to sequence the genome of a measles virus that infected a 2-year-old girl who died in 1912. [11] Sequence analysis has suggested that the two viruses most probably diverged in the 11th and 12th centuries, though the periods as early as the 5th century fall within the 95% confidence interval of these calculations. Antibodies to measles bind to the hemagglutinin protein. Right: Microscopic image of measles-infected Vero/hSLAM cells. It is the cause of measles. Three are involved in management of the genome. Vero/hSLAM cells must be cultured in medium containing the antibiotic geneticin to retain SLAM expression. We have performed a molecular characterization of 75 measles virus genotype D4 strains from patients infected in Spain between 2004 and 2012 by sequencing the N-450 region and the M-F non-coding region (M-F NCR) in order to identify genetic features of these viruses. Measles is caused by the measles virus, a single-stranded, negative-sense, enveloped RNA virus of the genus Morbillivirus within the family Paramyxoviridae. The MeVA assay allows the identification of vaccine reactions in about two hours. Protocols for culture of Vero/hSLAM cells are available from CDC. In the later stages of infection, the virus infects other immune cell types, including B cells[21] and T lymphocytes[22] also via SLAMF1 receptor. Wild-type measles viruses have been divided into distinct genetic groups according to the nucleotide sequences of their hemagglutinin and nucleoprotein genes. Due to restrictions imposed by the CITES convention, CDC is not able to ship Vero/hSLAM cells internationally. [16], The major genotypes differ between countries and the status of measles circulation within that country or region. The strain names will provide information that is essential for interpretation of the molecular data. GENE EXPRESSION If two cases have matching N-450 sequences, they may be connected even if the connection is not obvious. Left: Microscopic image of uninfected Vero/hSLAM cells. Journal of Infectious Diseases Advance Access published July 6, 2015 BRIEF REPORT Endemic transmission of measles virus (MV) was halted in Whole-Genome Sequencing of Canada in 1998 [1] and in the United States in 2000 [2]; how- Measles Virus Genotypes H1 and D8 ever, since reaching an historic low of 278 417 cases worldwide During Outbreaks of Infection in 2008, measles incidence has … The measles virus (MeV) genome is 15,894 nt in length and assigned to one of 24 genotypes based on the highly variable 450-nt coding for the carboxyl terminus of the nucleocapsid protein (N-450) (7, 9). 61 Colindale Avenue Inside the virion genomic RNA is forming complex with N, L and P proteins. The disease presents primarily as a skin rash with other mild symptoms in adults who contract the disease. Atlanta, Georgia, 30329 Wild-type measles viruses have been divided into eight clades containing 24 genotypes based on the nucleotide sequences of their hemagglutinin (H) and nucleoprotein (N) genes, which are the most variable genes in the viral genome. Measles is the most contagious transmissible virus known. Like all viruses in the paramyxoviridae family, the measles virus has a single-stranded, negative sense RNA genome. *All vaccine strains (e.g. Scientists assembled a measles virus genome from the preserved lungs of a girl who died in 1912.

CDC twenty four seven. Laboratories in the US can request Vero/hSLAM cells from CDC. This increases the cost of the cell culture medium. Featherstone DA, Rota PA, Icenogle J, Mulders MN, Jee Y, Ahmed H et al. But unlike most viruses, which have rigid capsids, measles and its relatives rely on a relatively flexible helical container. MeVs can be grouped into 24 genotypes based on the highly variable 450 nucleotides coding for the carboxyl-terminus of the nucleocapsid protein (N-450). hSLAM is a receptor for both wild-type and laboratory-adapted strains of measles. Symptoms include fever, cough, runny nose, inflamed eyes and a generalized, maculopapular, erythematous rash. 1954: Thomas C. Peebles, a World War II bomber pilot turned doctor, isolated the measles virus in an infected 11-year-old boy named David Edmonston. Measles virus is the prototypic member of the Morbillivirus genus of the family Paramyxoviridae. The measles genome consists of 15,894 nucleotides although some variation in genome length has been described. Email: bbankamp@cdc.gov, Dr. Kevin Brown The measles virus genome is typically 15,894 nucleotides long and encodes eight proteins. The RNA genome of the virus codes 6 main proteins Nucleoprotein (N), Phosphoprotein (P), Matrix protein (M), Fusion protein (F), Hemagglutinin (H), and Large Protein (L), which represents RNA dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp). You will be subject to the destination website's privacy policy when you follow the link. Measles is highly contagious and vaccine preventable. Virus Reference Department Using this well-known, safe vaccine backbone, we demonstrate here induction of functional immune responses in both arms of adaptive immunity, … Encodes for eight proteins. Endemic transmission of measles virus was interrupted in the United States and Australia by 2000 and the Americas by 2002. Therefore, effective vaccine concepts are urgently needed. Measles can cause serious complications and even fatalities. The RNA genome of the virus codes 6 main proteins Nucleoprotein (N), Phosphoprotein (P), Matrix protein (M), Fusion protein (F), Hemagglutinin (H), and Large Protein (L),[10] which represents RNA dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp). Detection of anti-measles IgM in serum of suspected cases is the routine test to confirm a case. Jennifer L. Gardy, Monika Naus, Ashraf Amlani, Walter Chung, Hochan Kim, Malcolm Tan, Alberto Severini, Mel Krajden, David Puddicombe, Vanita Sahni, Althea S. Hayden, Reka Gustafson, Bonnie Henry, Patrick Tang, Whole-Genome Sequencing of Measles Virus Genotypes H1 and D8 During Outbreaks of Infection Following the 2010 Olympic Winter Games Reveals Viral Transmission Routes, … There are several different approaches to WGS for measles virus. The cell line is not used for commercial purposes. Amplification of the genome in several large fragments with virus-specific primers followed by Sanger sequencing of the amplicons, as described by Gardy et al, has proven successful for years and, to our knowledge, produced all of the complete genomes currently available on GenBank. Mailstop C-22 A small percentage of measles vaccine recipients experience rash and fever 10 to 14 days following vaccination. The 450 nucleotides that code for the C‐terminal 150 amino acids of N are the minimum amount of sequence data required for genotyping a measles virus isolate. The virus is related to several viruses that infect animals, including the Canine DistemperVirus.
