摘要
Human respiratory syncytial virus (HRSV) is a major pathogen that causes worldwide seasonal epidemic disease in infants due to its genetic variations. However, published information on the molecular epidemiology of HRSV was never reported particularly in Chengdu of West China. During five consecutive seasons (from 2009 to 2014), 433 (23.7%) of 1827 samples from hospitalized patients were identified as HRSV positive. Epidemiological characteristics of HRSV revealed that subtype A viruses (62.7%) prevailed in the first three epidemic seasons and faded in the next two seasons, while subtype B viruses (37.3%) kept circulating in five epidemic periods. According to the phylogenetic analysis of glycoprotein (G) gene, five HRSV genotypes NA1, ON1, BA9, BA-C, and CB1 were found in Chengdu. The predominant circulating genotype changed from NA1 in the period of 2010-2012 to BA9 of 2013-2014. The newly emerging ON1 was first reported in West China in October 2013. The early genotypes BA-C and CB1 were replaced by the prevailing BA9 after the third epidemic peak. Genetic mutations in glycosylation sites of G protein were found in HRSV variants, suggesting the virus is able to escape the immune recognition and attack. This study elucidated the local HRSV epidemic was associated with the alternate circulation of multiple genotypes and with the change of glycosylation sites of G protein. J. Med.
