For the NFLG 21S009, four CRF07_BC gene fragments were inserted into the pol, vif-vpr, vpu-env, and nef-3` LTR gene regions within a CRF01_ AE backbone, respectively. For the NFLG 21S095, four breakpoints were identified in HIV-1 pol and vpu regions. The NFLG 21S370 contained four gene recombinant breakpoints within HIV-1 pol and vpu-env gene regions. Of these three NFLGs, the NFLG 21S009 contained the most breakpoints, distributed in the pol, vif, vpr, vpu, env, and nef regions, respectively. In the gag-pol regions, three NFLGs had only one CRF07_BC gene fragment inserted into gene points between 4250 and 4792.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Our findings provide strong evidence that the surveillance of novel recombinant forms is necessary for the increase in better control of HIV.</p>","PeriodicalId":10911,"journal":{"name":"Current HIV Research","volume":" ","pages":"232-239"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71479209","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
