WHAT IS ALREADY KNOWN ABOUT THIS TOPIC?: Phylogenetic analysis has revolutionized the detection and understanding of Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) transmission patterns.
WHAT IS ADDED BY THIS REPORT?: Three distinct transmission cluster patterns were identified across China: a large cluster with nationwide distribution, two medium clusters predominantly in the Central and Eastern China, and 103 small clusters scattered across 19 provincial-level administrative divisions (PLADs). Each cluster type exhibited unique characteristics of expansion risk and inter-provincial transmission patterns. No genetic linkages were found between Chinese sequences and those from other countries.
WHAT ARE THE IMPLICATIONS FOR PUBLIC HEALTH PRACTICE?: These findings underscore the critical need for a comprehensive national molecular epidemiological surveillance network.
关于该主题已知的信息有哪些?:系统发育分析彻底改变了丙型肝炎病毒(HCV)传播模式的检测和理解。
本报告新增了哪些内容?:在中国各地识别出三种不同的传播聚集模式:一个分布于全国的大聚集群、两个主要位于中国中部和东部的中等聚集群,以及散布在19个省级行政区的103个小聚集群。每种聚集群类型都表现出独特的扩张风险特征和省际传播模式。在中国的序列与其他国家的序列之间未发现基因联系。
对公共卫生实践有何启示?:这些发现强调了建立全面的国家分子流行病学监测网络的迫切需求。
