Abstract
To determine what measles virus genotype(s) circulated in Uganda after strategic interventions aimed at controlling/ eliminating measles, we examined samples obtained during 2006–2009 and found only genotype B3.1, which had not been previously detected. Kenya was the likely source, but other countries cannot be excluded.
