Genome sequences of a novel HIV-1 CRF53_01B identified in Malaysia

J Virol. 2012 Oct;86(20):11398-9. doi: 10.1128/JVI.01932-12.

Abstract

A novel HIV-1 genotype designated CRF53_01B was recently characterized from three epidemiologically unrelated persons in Malaysia. Here we announced three recently isolated full-length genomes of CRF53_01B, which is likely to be phylogenetically linked to CRF33_01B, circulating widely in Southeast Asia. The genome sequences may contribute to HIV-1 molecular surveillance and future vaccine development in the region.
