Near-Complete Genome Sequences of Measles Virus Strains from 10 Years of Uganda Country-wide Surveillance.

ABSTRACT: Measles remains a global health challenge despite the availability of a safe and effective vaccine. Sporadic outbreaks of measles virus infections continue in Uganda. We report eight near-complete genome sequences of measles virus strains from Uganda cases from 2011 to 2020, providing useful data for assessing vaccine escape and local/regional transmission.
