Yunnan province was considered the HIV-1 epicenter of China, where many subtypes and CRFs of HIV-1 were circulating. CRF07_BC and CRF08_BC were two of the main circulating subtypes that caused more than 90% of the HIV-1 infections in intravenous drug users (IDUs) in this district. The cocirculation of these two CRFs in the same area and population predicted the emergence of new second-generation recombinants. This study presented a near full-length genomic analysis of a novel HIV-1 recombination (09YN072) involving CRF07_BC and CRF08_BC. The analyses of the sequence of 09YN072 showed that two CRF07_BC segments were inserted into the CRF08_BC backbone. The discovery of the novel recombinant strain complicates the HIV-1 epidemic in Yunnan, China, as well as the development of effective vaccines to limit the spread of HIV-1 in China.
云南省曾被视为中国的HIV-1流行中心,有许多HIV-1亚型和CRF在该地区传播。CRF07_BC和CRF08_BC是两种主要的流行亚型,在该地区静脉吸毒者(IDU)中导致了90%以上的HIV-1感染。这两种CRF在同一地区和人群中的共同传播预示着新的第二代重组体的出现。本研究对一种涉及CRF07_BC和CRF08_BC的新型HIV-1重组体(09YN072)进行了近全长基因组分析。对09YN072序列的分析表明,两个CRF07_BC片段插入到CRF08_BC主干中。这种新型重组毒株的发现使中国云南的HIV-1疫情以及开发有效疫苗以限制HIV-1在中国传播的工作变得更加复杂。
