[Identification and genetic characterization of coxsackieviruses A2, 6, 8 and 12 isolated in Shandong Province].

Abstract
In previous study, molecular typing method was performed to identify human enteroviruses (HEVs) isolates collected from acute flaccid paralysis (AFP) cases from 1989 to 2011 and hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) patients, and 8 HEV-A serotypes were identified. In order to explore the genotypes and molecular evolution characteristics of HEV-A in Shandong province, viral RNA of the remaining isolates was extracted and entire VP1 coding region was amplified, sequenced and identified with HEV-A primers. Another 7 HEV-A Shandong isolates were obtained, and identified as Coxsackievirus A (CVA) 2, 6, 8 and 12 by molecular typing method. Homologous comparison showed that the nucleotide acid identities of Shandong strains ranged from 80.8% to 85.0% with prototype strains. Phylogenetic analysis based on VP1 sequences indicated that CVA8 and CVA12 strains were genetically related with domestic strains. However, CVA2 and CVA6 strains were distinct from both domestic and foreign strains. In addition, multiple transmission chains of CVA2 and CVA6 existed within Shandong province. So far, a total of 12 HEV-A serotypes were identified in Shandong province. This study enriched the distribution of serotypes and genetic evolution characteristics of HEV-A isolates in Shandong, and revealed different transmission chains of CVA2, 6, 8, 12 serotypes co-circulated in Shandong province or in China.
