Emerging porcine Enterovirus G infections, epidemiological, complete genome sequencing, evolutionary and risk factor analysis in India
Virology. 2023 Oct 16;590:109906. doi: 10.1016/j.virol.2023.109906. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe current study reports the in-depth analysis of the epidemiology, risk factors, and molecular characterization of a complete genome of Enterovirus G (EV-G) isolated from Indian pigs. We analysed several genes of EV-G isolates collected from various provinces in India, using phylogenetic analysis, recombination detection, SimPlot, and selection pressure analyses. Our analysis of 534 porcine faecal samples revealed that 11.61% (62/534) of the samples were positive for EV-G. While the G6 genotype was the most predominant, our findings showed that Indian EV-G strains also clustered with EV-G types G1, G6, G8, and G9. Furthermore, Indian EV-G strains exhibited the highest nucleotide similarity with Vietnamese (81.3%) and Chinese EV-G isolates (80.3%). Moreover, we identified a recombinant Indian EV-G strain with a putative origin from a Japanese isolate and South Korean EV-G isolate. In summary, our findings provide significant insights into the epidemiology, genetic diversity, and evolution of EV-G in India.PMID:38096748 | DOI:10.1016/j.virol.2023.109906
