Characterization of Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) genotype III clinical isolates in northeast India

Conclusions This study showed that a pathogenic GIII JEV strain was circulating in the northeastern region of India. This finding is important as it is contrary to the belief that GI is gradually replacing GIII as the dominant genotype in Asia. GenBank accession numbers: HQ270470, JQ434468, HQ246155, JX018170.
