Résumé de : JIA (XY), BRIESE (T), JORDAN (I), RAMBAUT (A), CHI (HC), MACKENZIE (JS), HALL (RA), SCHERRET (J) & LIPKIN (WI) - 1999 - Genetic analysis of West Nile New York 1999 encephalitis virus. Lancet, 1999, Dec. 4, 354 (9194), pp. 1971-1972.

Analysis of the genome of the flavivirus responsible for the 1999 New York City encephalitis epidemic cloned from human brain by reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction indicates its identity as a lineage I West Nile virus (WNV; WNV-NY1999) closely related to WNVs previously isolated in the Middle East.
