Key Points

  • This research aims to expand the understanding of the genetic diversity of HSV2 by sequencing clinical isolates from Finland.
  • Sequenced seven HSV2 clinical isolates from Finland collected between 2000 and 2014
  • Analyzed the genetic variations among the isolates
  • Compared sequences to existing data globally
  • The sequences reveal significant genetic diversity among the HSV2 isolates
  • Identified geographical variation in HSV2 strains
  • Enhanced understanding of HSV2 epidemiology in Europe

Abstract

We sequenced seven herpes simplex virus 2 (HSV2) clinical isolates circulating between 2000 and 2014 in Finland. Few HSV2 virus isolates have been sequenced from Europe, particularly from Nordic countries. These sequences expand our knowledge of the global sequence diversity of HSV2 sequences and help elucidate total variation between geographic regions.
