Genomic surveillance context of F:H419R among publicly available measles virus genomes from study of whole-genome sequencing of measles virus from 2025 outbreak, Texas, USA. A) Nextstrain time-scaled global phylogeny of measles viruses showing genotype B3 and D8 measles virus genomes with the F:H419R substitution highlighted (https://nextstrain.org/measles/genome@2025-09-24?gt=F.419R&treeZoom=selected). B) Global genotype D8 context of representative measles genomes associated with the outbreak in Texas and representative publicly available F:H419R-positive D8 genomes. F:H419R, Fusion gene H419R substitution.
