Introduction:Coxsackievirus A6 (CVA6) has emerged as a significant pathogen responsible for severe cases of hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD). This study aims to delineate the demographic characteristics and analyze the viral evolution of severe HFMD associated with CVA6, thereby assisting in its surveillance and management.Methods:In this investigation, 74 strains of CVA6 were isolated from samples collected from severe HFMD cases between 2012 and 2023. The VP1 gene sequences of CVA6 were amplified and analyzed to assess population historical dynamics and evolutionary characteristics using BEAST, DnaSP6, and PopART.Results:A significant portion (94.4%) of severe CVA6-associated HFMD cases (51 out of 54, with 20 lacking age information) were children under 5 years old. Among the 74 CVA6 strains analyzed, 72 belonged to the D3a sub-genotype, while only two strains were D2 sub-genotype. The average genetic distance between VP1 sequences prior to 2015 was 0.027, which increased to 0.051 when compared to sequences post-2015. Historical population dynamics analysis indicated three significant population expansions of severe CVA6-associated HFMD during 2012-2013, 2013-2014, and 2019-2020, resulting in the formation of 65 distinct haplotypes. Consistent with the MCC tree findings, transitioning between regional haplotypes required multiple base substitutions, showcasing an increase in population diversity during the evolutionary process (from 14 haplotypes in 2013 to 55 haplotypes over the subsequent decade).Conclusions:CVA6, associated with severe HFMD, is evolving and presents a risk of outbreak occurrence. Thus, enhanced surveillance of severe HFMD is imperative.

INTRODUCTION:Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus (SFTSV) is a newly emerged virus that poses a great threat to human health because of high fatality rate. METHODS:To develop sensitive and specific sero-diagnostic systems for SFTSV infections, monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) against recombinant SFTSV nucleocapsid (rSFTSV-N) protein were developed by immunizing BALB/C mice with rSFTSV-N protein and fusing the spleen cells with SP2/0 myeloma cells. Three hybridoma cell lines secreting MAbs against rSFTSV-N were obtained. MAb based IgG sandwich enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and IgM capture ELISA systems were established by using the newly developed MAbs. One hundred fifteen clinical suspected SFTS patients serum samples were used to evaluate the newly established systems by comparing with the total antibody detecting sandwich ELISA system and indirect ELISA systems. RESULTS:The MAbs based sandwich IgG ELISA was perfectly matched with that of the total antibody sandwich ELISA and the indirect IgG ELISA. IgM capture ELISA results perfectly matched with that of the total antibody sandwich ELISA while detecting eight additional positive samples missed by the indirect IgM ELISA. CONCLUSIONS:The MAbs against rSFTSV-N protein offer new tools for SFTSV studies and our newly developed MAb-based IgG and IgM capture ELISA systems would offer safe and useful tools for diagnosis of SFTS virus infections and epidemiological investigations.
Objective:To provide data support for the prevention and control of dengue fever in Henan Province by analyzing the molecular epidemiological and etiological characteristics of dengue fever outbreaks in Puyang in 2019.Methods:Blood samples were collected from all suspected cases of dengue fever. The antigen, antibody and nucleic acid of dengue virus (DENV) were detected. The E gene was amplified by viral nucleic acid extraction and sequenced. Phylogenetic tree was constructed to trace the source of infection. Results:A total of 61 local cases of dengue fever were reported, and no deaths were reported. Among them, 4 cases (72.13%) were positive for DENV NS1 antigen; 16(26.23%) cases were positive for specific IgM; 38(62.30%) cases were positive for specific IgG; 34 cases (54.10%) were positive for dengue nucleic acid testing. Ten dengue virus strains were isolated, all of which were dengue virus type 1(DENV-1). Sequence analysis of E gene suggested it belonged to the same clade as Henan201903 strain imported from Cambodia to Zhumadian, Henan in 2019, with the highest homology. Conclusions:The dengue fever epidemic in Henan Province was caused by DENV-1, which might be improted from Cambodia, Singapore, Myanmar and other Southeast Asian countries. Therefore, the surveillance of DENV in people returning from Southeast Asia should be strengthened.
Objective: To analyze the epidemiological and etiological characteristics of sever fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) cases in Henan province during 2017-2020. Methods: Descriptive epidemiology method was used to analyze the characteristics of SFTS cases in Henan during 2017-2020. Patients' sera in acute phase were collected and tested using real-time fluorescence RT-PCR. The S segment complete sequences of the isolated sever fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus (SFTSV) strains were amplified and homology analysis was performed to construct the phylogenetic tree. Results: A total of 1 767 SFTS cases, including 1 000 suspected cases and 767 confirmed cases, were reported in Henan during this period, and 11 cases, including 3 suspected cases and 8 confirmed cases died, the case fatality rate was 0.62% (11/1 767). The incidence decreased year by year. The cases were distributed in 28 counties of 6 cities, and 1 681 cases were reported in Xinyang, accounting for 95.13% (1 681/1 767) of the total. The cases mainly occurred from April to October, accounting for 96.10% (1 698/1 767) of the total. The incidence in males (0.38/100 000) was significantly lower than that in females (0.54/100 000) (χ2=54.855, P<0.001). Up to 93.44% (1 651/1 767) of the cases were aged between 40 and 84 years. Farmers accounted for 96.10% (1 698/1 767) of the total cases. One family cluster outbreak occurred in 4 years. A total of 1 110 samples were detected by Henan CDC, in which 435 were SFTS virus positive with an average positive rate of 39.19% (435/1 110). The differences in positive rates of SFTS virus among different years were significant (χ2=25.405, P<0.001). The sequence homology of complete S segment of the 39 SFTS virus strains ranged from 94.76% to 99.82%. The genetic evolution analysis on the complete S segment of the 39 SFTS virus strains showed that 34 strains belonged to genotype A, 2 strains belonged to genotype B, and 3 strains belonged to genotype D. Conclusions: The incidence of SFTS in Henan was sporadic, and decreased year by year. SFTS had obvious regional and seasonal characteristics, and the area affected by SFTS expanded. The incidence of SFTS was high in elderly female farmers, and the positive rate of SFTS virus varied greatly in different years. The main type of SFTS virus in Henan was genotype A, but the etiological surveillance is still needed.
Abstract Background Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) is an emerging infectious disease with the high case-fatality rate, and lack of vaccines. We aimed to systematically analysed the epidemiological characteristics, clinical signs, routine laboratory diagnosis, risk factors, and outcomes. Methods Documents on SFTS were collected by searching the Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wan Fang Data, PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science databases from 2011 to 2018. Meta-analysis was performed by using Review Manager and Stata software. Results Twenty-five articles involving 4143 cases were included. Diarrhea (odds ratio (OR) =1.60, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.06 to 2.42, P = 0.02), and vomiting (OR = 1.56, 95% CI: 1.01 to 2.39, P = 0.04) on admission were associated with the fatal outcomes of SFTS. Compared to patients with mild symptoms, patients with severe symptoms had significantly elevated levels of lactic acid dehydrogenase (standard mean difference (SMD) =1.27, 95% CI: 0.59 to 1.94), alanine aminotransferase (SMD = 0.55, 95% CI: 0.24 to 0.85), aspirate aminotransferase (SMD = 1.01, 95% CI: 0.69 to 1.32), and creatine kinase (SMD = 1.04, 95% CI: 0.74 to 1.33) but had reduced platelet counts (SMD = -0.87, 95% CI: − 1.16 to − 0.58) and albumin levels (SMD = -1.00, 95% CI: − 1.32 to − 0.68). The risk factors for poor prognosis included age (mean difference (MD) =6.88, 95% CI: 5.41 to 8.35) and farming (OR = 2.01, 95% CI: 1.06 to 3.80). For the risk factors of contracting SFTS, the incidence of SFTS related to tick bites was 24% [95% CI: 0.18 to 0.31]. The pooled case-fatality rate of SFTS patients was 18% [95% CI: 0.16 to 0.21]. Conclusions China is the country with the highest incidence of SFTS. May to July was the peak of the epidemic, and farmers were a high-risk group. The risk factor for SFTS included age (poor prognosis) and tick bites (contracting SFTS). Patients with severe diarrhea and vomiting symptoms on admission should be noted. Clinicians could use routine laboratory parameters and clinical symptoms as references for clinically suspected cases, classification of SFTS, and timely treatment, especially in basic hospitals.

Objective: To analyze data gathered from the laboratory records related to imported Dengue cases in Henan province in 2018. Methods: Suspected Dengue cases were found out through the Dengue fever surveillance network from the National infectious Disease reporting management information system. Serum samples of suspected Dengue cases were collected while case study and tested for Dengue NS1 antigen, IgM, IgG antibodies and Dengue RNA in Henan province in 2018. According to the standardized Dengue diagnosis criteria, confirmed cases were identified under the results of testing. Dengue RNA was checked by Real-time PCR genotyping and amplification of E gene in the samples being tested, before the PCR products were sequenced and analyses of homological and phylogenetic were performed. Results: In 2018, a total of 29 cases of Dengue fever was reported in Henan province, with all of which were imported cases, mainly from Southeast Asian countries and Africa. Majority of the cases were young and middle-aged farmers under 45 years old, and the number of males was significantly higher than that of females. The imported cases were dispersed in time and space. Among the 29 Dengue reported cases, 22 cases were with NS1 antigen and/or IgM positive through testing, while 6 cases were positive by detection of the Dengue virus RNA. These 6 samples with Dengue RNA were genotyped successfully, including 3 cases of Dengue virus type 1 and 3 cases of type 2. One of the Maldives import Dengue virus type 2 samples was sequenced. Result showed that the sequence belonged to the Asian Ⅰ genotype, which was most consistently similar to the Cambodia's Dengue virus type 2 JF730046, identified in 2008. Conclusions: The incidence of imported Dengue fever cases increased significantly in Henan province in 2018, compared to that in 2017, but fortunately did not cause any local epidemics.
Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) is an emerging infectious disease caused by severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus (SFTSV). SFTSV has been found in humans, ticks and animals, and SFTS has high mortality and increasing prevalence in East Asia. In the study, the samples (heart, liver, lung, kidney, spleen, brain tissue and serum) were collected from 374 domestic animals and 241 wild animals in Pingqiao District and Xinxian County of Xinyang in Henan Province, China. 275 (44.72%, 275/615) animals were positive for anti-SFTSV antibodies, the anti-SFTSV antibodies positive ratios of domestic and wild animals were 43.58% (163/374) and 46.47% (112/241), respectively. There was no significant difference in domestic and wild animals, but significant differences were detected among different species of animals (χ2 = 112.59, P < 0.0001). Among 615 animals, 105 (17.07%, 105/615) animals were positive for SFTSV RNA, and only one SFTSV strain was isolated from heart tissue of a yellow weasel. The phylogenetic analysis shows that the sequence from animals belonged to the same group with viral sequences obtained from humans. The animals maybe play a reservoir host in maintaining the life cycle of SFTSV in nature.
Objective To survey avian influenza A viruses (AIVs) in the environment and explore the reasons for the surge in human H7N9 cases. Methods A total of 1,045 samples were collected from routine surveillance on poultry-related environments and 307 samples from human H7N9 cases-exposed environments in Henan from 2016 to 2017. The nucleic acids of influenza A (Flu A), H5, H7, and H9 subtypes were detected by real-time polymerase chain reaction. Results A total of 27 H7N9 cases were confirmed in Henan from 2016 to 2017, 24 had a history of live poultry exposure, and 15 had H7N9 virus detected in the related live poultry markets (LPMs). About 96% (264/275) Flu A positive-environmental samples were from LPMs. H9 was the main AIV subtype (10.05%) from routine surveillance sites with only 1 H7-positive sample, whereas 21.17% samples were H7-positive in H7N9 cases-exposed environments. Samples from H7N9 cases-exposed LPMs (47.56%) had much higher AIVs positive rates than those from routine surveillance sites (12.34%). The H7+H9 combination of mixed infection was 78.18% (43/55) of H7-positive samples and 41.34% (43/104) of H9-positive samples. Conclusion The contamination status of AIVs in poultry-related environments is closely associated with the incidence of human infection caused by AIVs. Therefore, systematic surveillance of AIVs in LPMs in China is essential for the detection of novel reassortant viruses and their potential for interspecies transmission.
After we published our preliminary study on the use of liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) and curated E. coli toxin databases on the identification of E. coli Shiga toxins (Stxs) in the Journal of Proteomics in year 2018, we were encouraged to further refine the method and test clinical isolates. In this study, different concentrations of mitomycin C (MMC) and ciprofloxacin (CF), two common antibiotic/chemotherapy agents capable of stimulating Stx production, were first tested and compared on three reference strains and eight clinical isolates to observe the toxin induction and subsequent identification. Notably, no differences were observed between the two agents other than the concentrations applied. Seventeen more clinical isolates were then tested using fixed MMC and CF concentrations and sample amount. This study confirms that the majority of stx2-positive E. coli strains can be stimulated to produce sufficient toxin for confident identification. This does not occur with stx1-positive E. coli isolates, however, despite the fact that both Stxs can be identified for several isolates without MMC or CF stimulation. BIOLOGICAL SIGNIFICANCE: Stxs, especially Stx2, are very important causes of severe food-borne disease, even death. This study confirms that receptor analogue-based affinity enrichment of Stxs, after MMC or CF treatment of E. coli, is useful for fast and accurate Stx2 identification through LC-MS/MS.
Background Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) is a severe emerging disease caused by SFTS virus (SFTSV), and the geographical distribution of SFTS has been increasing throughout China in recent years. To assess SFTSV-specific antibody seroprevalence, a cross-sectional study was conducted for healthy people in high SFTS endemic areas of Henan province in 2016. Methods This study used a stratified random sampling method to select 14 natural villages as the investigation sites. From April to May 2016, participants completed a questionnaire survey and serum samples were collected. All serum samples were subjected to ELISA to detect SFTSV-specific IgM and IgG. All IgM-positive samples were further tested by real-time RT-PCR, and isolation of virus from serum was attempted. Any participant who was IgM-positive was followed up with a month later to confirm health status. Results In total, 1463 healthy people participated in this study. The average seropositive rates for SFTSV-specific IgG and IgM were 10.46% (153/1463) and 0.82% (12/1463), respectively. IgM was detected in 12 individuals, and SFTSV RNA was detected in six of them. Virus was isolated from five of the six SFTSV RNA-positive individuals, and phylogenetic analyses revealed that all five isolates belonged to SFTSV group A. No IgM-positive participants exhibited any symptoms or other signs of illness at the one-month follow up. Conclusions This study identified a relatively high incidence of SFTSV-specific antibody seropositivity in healthy people in Xinyang city. Moreover, our data provide the first evidence for asymptomatic SFTSV infections, which may have significant implications for SFTS outbreak control.
Background: Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) is a severe emerging disease, and its incidence has been increasing in recent years. A cross-sectional study was conducted for healthy people in high SFTS endemic areas of Henan province in 2016. Methods: This study used stratified random sampling method and finally 14 natural villages were selected as the investigation site. The questionnaire survey and serum collection were carried out from April to May in 2016. All the serum samples were detected by SFTSV IgM and IgG antibodies by ELISA. Only positive samples of SFTSV IgM antibody need be tested SFTSV RNA and virus cultured. A month after the specimen collection, all persons positive for IgM antibody were followed up one by one to confirm whether he or she was recessive infection. Results: 1463 healthy persons were investigated in total. The average seropositive rates of SFTS virus specific IgG and IgM antibodies were 10.46% (153/1463) and 0.82% (12/1463), respectively. IgM antibody was positive in 12 individuals, and 6 of them SFTS virus RNA were also detected. In addition, 5 SFTS virus were isolated from the 6 SFTS virus RNA (+) individuals. By genomic sequencing and phylogenetic analysis, 5 new isolates from healthy crowd all belonged to groups A, which were similar to other isolates from SFTS patients. After one month, all people with SFTS virus IgM antibody had no illness or symptoms. Conclusions: This study confirmed there is SFTS recessive infection in human, and it is the first report about SFTS virus isolation in healthy people. Author Summary: Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS), a severe emerging infectious disease, was discovered in rural areas of China. The first SFTS case was found in Henan province, which has had the largest number of SFTS cases in China every year since the disease was discovered. However, as a high incidence area of SFTS in Henan province, the serum prevalence rate of the virus in healthy people is still not clear. Therefore, a cross-sectional survey was performed in high endemic areas and epidemic seasons in 2016. The results showed that the level of specific SFTS seroprevlence was relatively higher and possibility increasing. SFTS RNA were positive and SFTS virus was isolated from the specimens of healthy people. This study confirmed there is SFTS recessive infection in human, and it is the first report about SFTS virus isolation in healthy people.

Objective To analyze the VP1 sequences of coxsackievirus A16(CA16) causing neu-rologic complications. Methods Clinical samples and epidemiological information were collected from pa-tients with viral encephalitis. Coxsackievirus A16 in these samples were first detected with real time RT-PCR and then isolated. RT-PCR was performed to amplify VP1 sequences and the amplified products were se-quenced. DNAStar 5.0 and Mega 5 were used for sequence analysis. All data was analyzed with SPSS statis-tical software. Results Fifteen samples were collected from 12 patients with hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) complicated by neurologic complications. Eight patients had the symptoms of fever, skin rash, signs of meningeal irritation and neck rigidity. No typical cluster was associated with clinical features or the time of onset. Both pharyngeal/anal swab and serum samples were collected from three patients (patient′s number:01111,01169 and 01130). The two samples collected from both 01111 and 01130 patients shared 100% similarity in nucleotide and amino acid based on VP1 sequences,while those from 01169 patient dif-fered in only one base. The 15 CA16 isolates were highly similar in VP1 gene, sharing 94.5%-100% ho-mology in nucleotide sequences and 98.0%-100% homology in amino acid sequences. These 15 isolates showed 68.5%-70.5% identities in nucleotide sequences and 90.5%-91.9% identities in amino acid se-quences with the CA16 prototype strain G10. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that based upon VP1 sequences, all of the 15 CA16 isolates grouped into genotype B subtype 1b (B1b), which was further classified into three clusters. Conclusion All of the 15 CA16 isolates causing neurologic complications belonged to B1b sub-genotype. Understanding the molecular epidemiology of CA16 would be essential for controlling morbidi-ty rates of HFMD and vaccine research.
Objective: To confirm the laboratory diagnosis of dengue bordline cases reported in Henan Province and trace its origin from molecular level in 2017. Methods: The study samples were blood samples (3-5 ml), which came from 8 suspected cases of dengue fever reported in the 2017 direct reporting system of Henan provincial infectious disease monitoring network. Meanwhile, case investigation was conducted according to National dengue fever surveillance programme. Serum were separated from blood samples and tested for Dengue NS1 antigen, IgM & IgG antibodies, and dengue RNA. According to dengue diagnosis criteria, confirmed cases were identified by testing results. Samples carried dengue RNA performed for real-time PCR genotyping and amplification of E gene. Then, the amplicons were sequenced and homological and phylogenetic analyses were constructed. Results: 8 serum samples of suspected dengue cases were collected in Henan Province, 2017. Six of them were diagnosed as dengue confirmed cases. All the dengue confirmed cases belonged to outside imported cases, 5 of them were positive by dengue RNA testing. Genotyping results showed there were 1 DENV1 case, 2 DENV2 cases and 2 DENV3 cases. A DENV2 case and a DENV3 case of this study were traced its origin successfully. The sequence of Pakistan imported DENV2 case belongs to cosmopolitan genotype, which was the most consistent with Pakistan's DENV2 KJ010186 in 2013 (identity 99.0%). The sequence of Malaysia imported DENV3 case belongs to genotype I, which was the most consistent with Singapore's DENV3 KX224276 in 2014(identity 99.0%). Conclusion: The laboratory diagnosis and molecular traceability of dengue cases in Henan Province in 2017 confirmed that all cases were imported and did not cause local epidemics.
