  • Comparison of the Genome Sequences and the Phylogenetic Analyses of the GP78 and the Vellore P20778 Isolates of Japanese Encephalitis Virus from India
    Comparison of the genome sequences and the phylogenetic analyses of the GP78 and the Vellore P20778 isolates of Japanese encephalitis virus from India SUDHANSHU VRATI Virology Laboratory, National Institute of Immunology, Aruna Asaf Ali Marg, JNU Complex, New Delhi 110 067, India (Fax, 91-11-6162125; Email, [email protected]) The nucleotide sequence of the complete genomes of two Indian isolates of Japanese encephalitis virus were compared. One of these isolates, GP78 was obtained from northern India in 1978. The other, the Vellore P20778 isolate, was obtained from southern India in 1958. There was 4×40% nucleotide sequence divergence be- tween the two Indian isolates that resulted in a 1×86% amino acid sequence divergence. Phylogenetic analyses showed that in evolutionary terms the north Indian GP78 isolate was close to the SA14 isolate from China whereas the south Indian Vellore P20778 isolate was close to the Beijing-1 isolate, also from China. The two Indian isolates, however, appear to have evolved independently. 1.
