Abstract:
Objective To understand the genetic variations of influenza B virus outbreaks in Guizhou province in 2016,and to compare the matching situation of outbreak epidemic strains with the vaccine strains recommended by WHO and representative strains in China.Methods The haemagglutinin HA1 gene of 8 strains isolated from two episodes of influenza B virus outbreaks in Tongren area was amplified and sequenced.The sequencing products were analyzed by bioinformatics software DNAStar. Results The two episodes of influenza outbreaks were both caused by influenza B Victoria lineage virus (BV).The homologies of the isolated strains were 99.8%—100.0% in nucleotide and 99.5 %—100.0%in amino acid.Mutation was only detected at 274 site in some strains.Compared with reference strain B/Victoria/2/87,the homologies were 91 .8%—92.0% and 91 .5 %—92.0%,respectively.Mutations developed at 17 amino acid sites,among which,I143V,V163I and V201I site were associated with the main antigenic determinant area B,C and D.Compared with previous vaccine strain B/Brisbane/60/2008, the homologies were 98.2%—98.3% and 98.5 %—99.0%,respectively,and mutations were detected at 3 sites.Mutations at I143V and N155D were detected in all 8 strains and at T247I in some strains.The mutation of I143V was associated with antigenic determinant area B.Compared with the representative strain B/Chongqing-Yuzhong/1384/2010,the homologies were 96.7%—96.8% and 97.0%—97.5 %, respectively.A total of 6 sites developed mutations,among which,5 sites were P84L,I143V,N155D, V172I and T223N mutations.The mutation of T247I was detected in some strains,and I143V was associated with area B.Compared with the epidemic strain in Guizhou in 2016,the homologies were 99.8%—100.0% and 99.5 %—100.0%,respectively.Mutation was only detected at site 247 in some strains and was not associated with the main antigenic determinant area.Conclusions The two episodes of influenza outbreaks in Guizhou are caused by the same BV lineage epidemic virus strain.Haemagglutinin gene of BV lineage virus is constantly changing.However,there is no new mutation emerged at important site.Compared with previous influenza vaccine strain B/Brisbane/60/2008 recommended by WHO,BV lineage virus is well matched and could provide a positive protection effect.
