*H, hemagglutinin; IND, indeterminate; MF-NCR, noncoding region between the matrix and fusion genes; N-450, 450 nt of the nucleoprotein gene; NT, not tested; PEP, postexposure prophylaxis, SNP, single-nucleotide polymorphism.
†All sequence results are in reference to the earliest detected sequence: MVs/Ontario.CAN/3.15 (GenBank accession nos. KU218405, KU218406, and KX396596 for the N-450, H gene, and MF-NCR, respectively), which is designated the “type sequence” for the purposes of this outbreak. The N-450 sequences, which were identical for all 17 cases with sequences, did not match any named lineage in MeaNS, the World Health Organization’s measles sequence database.
