Antigenic characteristics and genomic analysis of novel EV-A90 enteroviruses isolated in Xinjiang, China
Enterovirus A90 (EV-A90) is a novel serotype of enterovirus A species that is rarely reported. Here, we isolated five enteroviruses from patients with acute flaccid paralysis in Hotan and Kashgar cities in Xinjiang, China that were identified as EV-A90 by molecular typing. The VP1 sequences of these...

| Shrnutí: | Enterovirus A90 (EV-A90) is a novel serotype of enterovirus A species that is rarely reported. Here, we isolated five enteroviruses from patients with acute flaccid paralysis in Hotan and Kashgar cities in Xinjiang, China that were identified as EV-A90 by molecular typing. The
VP1
sequences of these Xinjiang EV-A90 strains showed 88.4–89% nucleotide sequence identity to the prototype EV-A90 strain; however, genome analysis indicated complex recombination events in
P2
and
P
3 regions. Next, the seroprevalence of EV-A90 was examined in 49 serum specimens collected in Hotan and Kashgar, and 37.5% were EV-A90 antibody positive (>1:8), with a geometric mean titre (GMT) of 1:10.47. The low positive rate and GMT suggest a low-level EV-A90 epidemic in Xinjiang. Two of the five Xinjiang EV-A90 strains were temperature sensitive, and three were temperature resistant, and a comparative genomics analysis suggested that an amino acid substitution (H1799Y) in the 3D
pol
region was related to temperature sensitivity. Although the epidemic strength is low, some EV-A90 strains were temperature resistant, which is suggestive of strong virulence and transmission capacity. This study expanded the number of EV-A90 in GenBank and provided basic data that may be useful for studying the molecular epidemiology of EV-A90. |
