ABSTRACT

Objective@#To sequence the 3′UTR of enterovirus 71 strains, investigate its foundation and impact in virulence by constructing a 3′UTR-replaced recombinant cDNA infectious clone.@*Methods@#Viral RNA of EV-A71 isolated viruses were extracted, and the nucleotide analysis was performed after sequencing. The 3′UTR of a full-length infectious clone of SDLY107 strain was replaced by its corresponding part of SDLY1 strain, and then the recombinant virus was constructed and identified.@*Results@#The nine isolated strains were classified into sub-genotype C4a of enterovirus (EV)-A71 by analysis, and nucleotide sequence homology for 3′UTR were 94%-100%. 3′UTR of EV-A71 strains may be associated with its pathogenicity. Identification of the rescued virus by sequencing and indirect immunofluorescence confirmed the successful construction of infectious recombinant virus.@*Conclusions@#Sequence analysis indicated that the 3′UTR may be involved in the pathogenicity of EV-A71. The recombinant virus SDLY107(1-3′UTR) was rescued successfully. Our study may provide evidence for further research on the influence of 3′UTR on the virulence of enterovirus 71.

ABSTRACT

Hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) is a common acute infectious disease among children. Enterovirus 71 (EV71) is one of the major pathogens of HFMD. The incidence of HFMD in our country is higher, the main target population of infection is infants and young children; EV71 is also the most important pathogen causing severe HFMD in children currently. HFMD was classified as notifiable communicable disease of Category C on May 2, 2008. Pathogenesis of HFMD is not yet clear, and there is no drug that can treat such virus effectively. The non-structural protein 3D in EV71, is one of the important targets for the development of anti-EV71 virus drugs, which catalyzes the replication and transcription of the viral genome. This review provides a summary of the structure and function of EV71 3D, which can provide reference for the development of antiviral drugs.

ABSTRACT

To analyze the genetic characteristics of a polio-I highly variant vaccine recombinant virus in Shandong Province (China) in 2011 and to identify isolates from healthy contacts, two stool specimens from one patient with acute flaccid paralysis (AFP) and 40 stool specimens from his contacts were collected for virus isolation. The complete genome of poliovirus and VP1 coding region of the non-polio enterovirus were sequenced. Homologous comparison and phylogenetic analyses based on VP1 sequences were undertaken among coxsackievirus (CV) B1, CV-B3 isolates, and those in GenBank. One poliovirus (P1/11186), CV-A4 and CV-A8 were isolated from the AFP patient; one CV-A2, Echovirus 3 (E-3), E-12 and E-14, ten CV-B1, and five CV-B3 strains were isolated from his contacts. These results led us to believe that there may be a human enterovirus epidemic in this area, and that surveillance must be enhanced. P1/11186 was a type-1 vaccine-related poliovirus; it combined with type-2 and type-3 polioviruses in 2A and 3A regions, respectively. There were 25 nucleotide mutations with 9 amino-acid alterations in the entire genome. There were 8 nucleotide mutations with 5 amino-acid alterations in the VP1 region compared with the corresponding Sabin strains. Homology analyses suggested that the ten CV-B1 isolates had 97.0%-100% nucleotide and 98.9%-100% amino-acid identities with each other, as well as 92.6%-100% nucleotide and 99.2%-100% amino-acid identities among the five CV-B3 isolates. Phylogenetic analyses on the complete sequences of VP1 among CV-B1 and CV-B3 isolates showed that Shandong strains, together with strains from other provinces in China, had a close relationship and belonged to the same group.

ABSTRACT

ObjectiveTo identify the pathogen of an aseptic meningitis outbreak which occurred in Linyi City of Shandong Province during the summer of 2009,and to analyze the genetic variations of Coxsackicvirus B5 (CVB5) isolates.MethodsForty-two cerebrospinal fluids (CSF) specimens were collected from aseptic meningitis cases and virus isolation was performed. The viral RNA was extracted and amplified from the positive specimens using reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).The partial VP1 coding region was purified and sequenced. The phylogenetic trees based on VP1 sequences were constructed among CVB5 isolates and those in GenBank.ResultsSeventeen enteroviruse strains were isolated from 42 CSF samples with 40.5% isolation positive rate. All these strains were identified as CVB5 using both microneutralization test and molecular typing methods. Homology comparisons indicated that the nucleotide acid identities and amino acid sequence identities were 92.3 %- 100.0% and 98.7 %- 100.0%,respectively among these CVB5 isolate.s,and compared with the Faulkner prototype strain,which were 81.0%-82.4% and 96.6%97.0%,respectively.Phylogenetic analysis on VP1 sequences showed that all CVB5 could be separated into four genogroups of A,B,C and D.Isolates of this outbreak belonged to genogroup D.Interestingly,two distinct genogroups in the phylogenetic tree were observed among the 17 isolates.Conclusions CVB5 is responsible for the outbreak of aseptic meningitis in Linyi City of Shandong Province,China. The genetic diversity is high among the isolates and all belong to genogroup D.

ABSTRACT

Objective To analyze the genetic characterization of VP1 region of Coxsackie virus A10(CVA10)isolated from clinical specimens of hand, foot and mouth disease(HFMD) patients in Shandong Province. Methods Clinical specimens were collected from some of HFMD patients from 2008 to 2009. The virus was isolated by cell culture. Total RNA was extracted, and the VP1 genes of the isolates were amplified by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and sequenced. The genotypes were identified by molecular typing method and bioinformatics analysis.Homologous comparison and phylogenetic analysis of representative CVA10 strains were performed.Homologous comparison between the Shandong isolates and strains obtained from GenBank were performed and phylogenetic analysis of some representative CVA10 strains were performed. Results Three hundred and thirty viruses strains were isolated from 760 clinical specimens collected from HFMD patients, and 17 of them were identified as CVA10. The homologies of nucleotide and amino acid of the 17 CVA10 strains were 82.3%-100.0% and 94.2%-100.0%, respectively. Compared with the prototype strain of CVA10 (Kowalik/USA/2003), the homologies of nucleotide and amino acid were 75.6%-76.8% and 90.2%-93.2%, respectively. Interestingly, Shandong CVA10 strains were clustered into two distinct subgroups in the phylogenetic tree. Conclusions CVA10 is one of the causative agents of HFMD. Two independently circulating subgroups of CVA10 exist in Shandong province.
