Ian T1 - Phylogenetic Analysis of a Human Isolate from the 2000 Israel West Nile virus Epidemic T2 - Emerging Infectious Disease journal PY - 2002 VL - 8 IS - 5 SP - 528 SN - 1080-6059 AB - Specimens from a patient of the 2000 Israel West Nile virus epidemic were analyzed by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. Products corresponding to E, NS3, and NS5 sequences were amplified from cerebellar but not from cortical samples. Phylogenetic analyses indicated a closer relationship of this isolate to 1996 Romanian and 1999 Russian than to 1998-99 Israeli or 1999 New York isolates.
