Abstract:
Objective To get genetic information of VP 1 coding region of HEV 71 in Beijing in 2008.Methods Enteroviruses were isolated from samples of throat swabs collected from 33 HFMD patients within 3 days after onset by rhabdomyosarcoma(RD) cells and identified by RT-PCR method with specific primers to human enteroviruses,then VP 1 coding region was amplified and sequenced by Sanger dideoxy.Bioedit 7.0.5 and MEGA3.1 were used for the nucleotide sequence alignment and phylogenetic analysis.Results 16 virus strains were isolated from 33 samples,of which 14 strains were identified as HEV 71 and 2 were CVA 16,and 1 was co-infected with CVA 16 and HEV 71.Sequence analysis of VP 1 nucleotide sequences of 10 HEV 71 isolates showed that homologous analysis of nucleotide identity amino acid 95.5%～100% and 98.9%～100% respectively;representative strains of Fuyang in 2008,nucleotide identity was 95.4%～99.1%;with representative strain of C 4 nucleotide identity was over 92%.Phylogenetic analysis of HEV 71 strains for the nucleotide sequence of VP 1 coding region clarified that the HEV 71 isolates in Beijing belonged to C 4a cluster of C 4 sub-genotype and 10 strains formed four relatively separated clusters.Conclusions The HEV 71 viruses isolated from children of HFMD in Beijing belonged to C 4 sub-genotype,and C4a cluster which was the predominant in China since 2004.According to phylogenetic analysis,HEV 71 which belonged to more than 4 different clusters were circulating in Beijing in 2008.More virological suggestion for disease control and prevention,and information of HEV 71 molecular epidemiology need to be collected urgently due to the successive large epidemic of HEV 71 in China.
