High Heterogeneity of Echoviruses in Brazilian Children with Acute Gastroenteritis. Viruses 2021; 13:v13040595. [PMID: 33807396 PMCID: PMC8067319 DOI: 10.3390/v13040595] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/02/2021] [Revised: 03/26/2021] [Accepted: 03/29/2021] [Indexed: 01/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Echoviruses (E) are a diverse group of viruses responsible for various pathological conditions in humans including aseptic meningitis, myocarditis, and acute flaccid paralysis. The detection and identification of echovirus genotypes in clinical samples is challenging due to its high genetic diversity. Here, we report the complete genome sequences of nine echoviruses, obtained by next-generation sequencing of 238 fecal samples from individuals with gastroenteritis in regions of Brazil. Detected viruses were classified into six genotypes: Three E1 sequences (BRA/TO-028, BRA/TO-069 and BRA/TO-236), one E3 (BRA/TO-018), one E11 (BRA/TO-086), one E20 (BRA/TO-016), two E29 (BRA/TO-030 and BRA/TO-193), and one E30 sequence (BRA/TO-032). Phylogenetic analysis indicated that the echoviruses E1 and E29 circulating in Brazil are divergent from strains circulating worldwide. The genotype diversity identified in our study may under-represent the total echovirus diversity in Brazil because of the small sample size and the restricted geographical distribution covered by the survey.

A method for detecting rash and fever illness-associated viruses using multiplex reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. Microbiol Immunol 2018; 61:337-344. [PMID: 28710778 DOI: 10.1111/1348-0421.12502] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/09/2017] [Revised: 07/07/2017] [Accepted: 07/12/2017] [Indexed: 02/02/2023]
Abstract
In this study, a new multiplex RT-PCR method for detecting various viral genes in patients with rash and fever illnesses (RFIs) was constructed. New primer sets were designed for detection of herpes simplex viruses 1 and 2 (HSV1 and 2), and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). The newly designed and previously reported primer sets were used to detect 13 types of RFI-associated viruses by multiplex RT-PCR assay systems. Moreover, to eliminate non-specific PCR products, a double-stranded specific DNase was used to digest double-stranded DNA derived from the templates in clinical specimens. RFI-associated viruses were detected in 77.0% of the patients (97/126 cases) by the presented method, multiple viruses being identified in 27.8% of the described cases (35/126 cases). Detected viruses and clinical diagnoses were compatible in 32.5% of the patients (41/126 cases). Sensitivity limits for these viruses were estimated to be 101 -103 copies/assay. Furthermore, non-specific PCR products were eliminated by a double-stranded specific DNase with no influence on sensitivity. These results suggest that this method can detect various RFI-associated viruses in clinical specimens with high sensitivity and specificity.

Abstract
Human coxsackievirus A9 (CVA9) is a member of Enterovirus B species and may cause aseptic meningitis. The complete genome analyses of two strains CVA9 A242/YN/CHN/2009 and A108/YN/CHN/2009 isolated from aseptic meningitis cases in Yunnan Province, China, in 2009 were performed. These two strains shared 81.3 and 80.7, 81.0 and 81.1 % nucleotide similarity with prototype strain Griggs in the VP1-encoding sequence and the complete genome sequence, respectively. Through phylogenetic analysis and homogeneity analysis for twenty-eight VP1-encoding sequences, CVA9 strains could be divided into four genotypes and the Chinese strains might belong to genotype D. Similarity plot and bootscanning analyses showed evidence of recombination with other EVB viruses. In conclusion, persistent surveillance of circulating enterovirus might help understand the enterovirus evolution.
