Abstract:
In order to analyze the molecular epidemiology of Hantavirus (HV) in Zhejiang Province, the complete M and S genome sequences of 12 HV strains from different hosts and locations in Zhejiang Province of China during the period of 1981-2007 were analyzed on genetic evolution by DNAstar and MEGA 4.0 software in this research. Phylogenetic analyses revealed that HTN and SEO strains were co-circulating in Zhejiang Province, and the difference in sequence similarity and the phylogeny was closely related to the isolated regions, but had no distinct relationship with the isolate year and the host, indicating a relationship between epidemiology of HFRS and the distribution region, especially in HTNV. The isolates in the same region could be assigned in same or near phylogenetic clade sharing high sequence similarity. Interestingly, the Gou3 strain and ZJ5 strain isolated from Jiande region in Zhejiang Province formed a distinct phylogenetic lineage in SEOV clade, and different from the other SEOV variants outside China. We believed that the special SEOV variants were distributed in Jiande region.
