Genetic characterization of type 3 vaccine-derived poliovirus from a patient with hand, foot, and mouth disease in China
Abstract Background The Oral Polio Vaccine (OPV) is genetically unstable and may mutate to form vaccinederived polioviruses (VDPVs). At present, the finding of VDPV mainly come from AFP surveillance and environmental sewage surveillance. Methods In 2023, a vaccine-derived poliovirus (VDPV) strain ty...

| Summary: | Abstract Background The Oral Polio Vaccine (OPV) is genetically unstable and may mutate to form vaccinederived polioviruses (VDPVs). At present, the finding of VDPV mainly come from AFP surveillance and environmental sewage surveillance. Methods In 2023, a vaccine-derived poliovirus (VDPV) strain type 3 isolated from a patient with hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) in Guangdong Province, China, was sequenced and analyzed. Result The strain had reversion mutations at the known attenuation site 5’ non-coding region and recombined with Sabin1, Phylogenetic analysis of the VP1 coding region showed that the Guangdong type 3 VDPV evolved independently of other type 3 VDPVs found globally. Conclusion It is meaningful to increase the sensitivity of surveillance of other enteroviral diseases for polioviruses. |
