To investigate HEV infection in swine and the genotype relationship between swine and human HEV.
Anti-HEV IgG antibody was detected in the sera of swine using enzyme linked immunoassay (EIA), and HEV RNA was amplified by reverse transcription nested polymerase chain reaction (RT-nPCR). The Vector NTI Suite 7 and TreeView softwares were used for nucleotide sequences phylogenetic analysis of HEV isolated from human and swine.
The anti-HEV IgG positive rate was 16.67% (18/108). Among the 18 anti-HEV IgG positive sera, 2 sequences (11.11%, called S18 and S43, respectively) of HEV ORF1 (102-387bp) were amplified, with the identity of 99% between them. They had 76% to 77%, 78%, 76% to 79%, 85% to 86%, 77%, 80%, 79% and 75% - 79% homology at the nucleotide level with human HEV genotypes 1 to 8, respectively. One (S18) of them was also amplified out in ORF2 region (5,994-6 297bp) and showed 76% to 78%, 74%, 74% to 77%, and 85% to 94% identity with human HEV genotypes 1 to 4 at the nucleotide level, respectively.
HEV sequences isolated from swine belong to human HEV genotype 4.
调查猪戊型肝炎病毒(HEV)感染情况以及猪和人HEV的基因型关系。
采用酶联免疫吸附测定(EIA)检测猪血清中的抗HEV IgG抗体,并用逆转录巢式聚合酶链反应(RT - nPCR)扩增HEV RNA。使用Vector NTI Suite 7和TreeView软件对从人和猪分离的HEV核苷酸序列进行系统发育分析。
抗HEV IgG阳性率为16.67%(18/108)。在18份抗HEV IgG阳性血清中,扩增出2条HEV开放阅读框1(ORF1,102 - 387bp)序列(分别称为S18和S43,占11.11%),它们之间的同一性为99%。它们在核苷酸水平上与人HEV基因型1至8的同源性分别为76%至77%、78%、76%至79%、85%至86%、77%、80%、79%和75% - 79%。其中一条序列(S18)在ORF2区域(5,994 - 6 297bp)也被扩增出来,在核苷酸水平上与人类HEV基因型1至4的同一性分别为76%至78%、74%、74%至77%和85%至94%。
从猪分离的HEV序列属于人类HEV基因型4。
