Epidemiological profiles of norovirus genotypes in children with and without acute gastroenteritis from the northwestern Amazon region
Noroviruses causes acute gastroenteritis (AGE) worldwide, with children living in low-income areas aged ≤5 years being the most vulnerable. Histo-blood group antigens (HBGA) are recognized as attachment factors for human noroviruses and susceptibility of a given genotype is frequently dependent on the secretor phenotype mediated by FUT2 genotype. This retrospective study involved 734 children aged ≤5 years with AGE (cases group; 66 %, 485/734) or non-AGE (control group; 34 %, 249/734), from the Amazon rainforest (Brazil, Venezuela, and Guyana) and in our previous studies, 87 % of children were positive secretors (641/734). A total of 40.2 % (88/219; GII) and 14.6 % (7/48; GI) of noroviruses were successfully genotyped, being: GII.1 (n = 5), GII.2 (n = 25), GII.4 (n = 32), GII.6 (n = 19), GII.7 (n = 5), GII.14 (n = 2), GI.2 (n = 1), GI.3 (n = 4) and GI.7 (n = 2). Most genotyped GII norovirus including all 32 GII.4, were detected in secretor-positive children (94.3 %, 83/88). Only genotypes GII.2 (n = 2), GII.6 (n = 3), GI.2 (n = 1) and GI.7 (n = 1) were detected in secretor-negative children. Of note, the predominant GII.4 and the GII.6 were not significantly associated with AGE (OR 1.1; 95 % CI 0.5 to 2.4, P = 0.7 and OR 1.4; 95 % CI 0.5 to 4.0, P = 0.4, respectively), in contrast to GII.2 was associated with AGE (OR 6.1; 95 % CI 1.4 to 26.2, P = 0.01). Genotypes GII.2, and GII.4 were detected in all age groups at high frequencies. In conclusion a great diversity of norovirus genotypes circulating in the Amazon region. Only the GII.2 genotype was associated with AGE, while the predominant GII.4 was detected at similar frequencies in both children with AGE and children without AGE.
期刊介绍:
(aka Journal of Molecular Epidemiology and Evolutionary Genetics of Infectious Diseases -- MEEGID)
Infectious diseases constitute one of the main challenges to medical science in the coming century. The impressive development of molecular megatechnologies and of bioinformatics have greatly increased our knowledge of the evolution, transmission and pathogenicity of infectious diseases. Research has shown that host susceptibility to many infectious diseases has a genetic basis. Furthermore, much is now known on the molecular epidemiology, evolution and virulence of pathogenic agents, as well as their resistance to drugs, vaccines, and antibiotics. Equally, research on the genetics of disease vectors has greatly improved our understanding of their systematics, has increased our capacity to identify target populations for control or intervention, and has provided detailed information on the mechanisms of insecticide resistance.
However, the genetics and evolutionary biology of hosts, pathogens and vectors have tended to develop as three separate fields of research. This artificial compartmentalisation is of concern due to our growing appreciation of the strong co-evolutionary interactions among hosts, pathogens and vectors.
Infection, Genetics and Evolution and its companion congress [MEEGID](http://www.meegidconference.com/) (for Molecular Epidemiology and Evolutionary Genetics of Infectious Diseases) are the main forum acting for the cross-fertilization between evolutionary science and biomedical research on infectious diseases.
Infection, Genetics and Evolution is the only journal that welcomes articles dealing with the genetics and evolutionary biology of hosts, pathogens and vectors, and coevolution processes among them in relation to infection and disease manifestation. All infectious models enter the scope of the journal, including pathogens of humans, animals and plants, either parasites, fungi, bacteria, viruses or prions. The journal welcomes articles dealing with genetics, population genetics, genomics, postgenomics, gene expression, evolutionary biology, population dynamics, mathematical modeling and bioinformatics. We also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.
