FIGURE 1.
Alignment of West Nile virus (WNV) E gene sequences and positions of the primers used for RT-LAMP. The E gene of WNV was retrieved from GenBank and analyzed using MegAlign software. Primers were designed based on a conserved region (nucleotides 2065–2277 of the genome). The GenBank accession numbers of the aligned strains (from top to bottom) are HQ596519.1, AF260968.1, AF196520, KJ131504.1, AF196835.1, HQ705675.1, JN183897.1, DQ164195.1, JF357960.1, JF899530.1, JF899531.1, JN817352.1, JN891.1, JN183890.1,HQ671797.1, JF920759.1, EU391640.1, JX442282.1, AF260969.1, AJ 965628.1, KM488117.1, HM756678.1, FJ265702.1, FJ265703.1, HM756661.1, JX015519.1, JN183893.1, KC493970.1, AF394221.1, and AF196520.1.
