  • 摘要:在2004-2006年期间,从中国不同地区共收集到25株狂犬病毒,其中24株是从犬脑分离,1株是从人脑分离。对这25株街毒株和7个代次的CTN疫苗株的G-L基因间隔区进行了序列测定和系统进化关系分析。结果显示:所有中国毒株的G-L基因间隔区都由519个碱基构成,这25株街毒株之间核苷酸序列同源性为95.5%-100%。本文所分析的所有中国毒株都属于基因 1型,其详细分布情况与地理上的来源相关。这些毒株共可分为密切相关的两个类群,所有街毒株为一个类群,不同代次的CTN疫苗株为另一个类群。此项研究提供了狂犬病毒基于G-L基因间隔区序列的分子流行病学详细资料。

  • A group of 25 rabies viruses (RABVs), recovered from 24 dogs and one human case, were collected from various areas in China between 2004 and 2006. Genetic and phylogenetic analyses of the G-L intergenic region were carried out in 25 street RABV isolates and CTN vaccine strains of 7 generations. The study was based on the comparison of a 519 bp nucleotide sequence, encompassing the G-L intergenic region. The nucleotide sequence homologies of Chinese street strains were from 95.5% to 100%. The phylogenetic analysis showed that all Chinese isolates clearly supported the placement of all Chinese viruses in Lyssavirus genotype 1 and they were distributed according to their geographical origins. All of the Chinese strains were closely related but they could still be divided into two groups: group of street strains and group of CTN strains. This study presents details about the molecular epidemiology of rabies viruses based on the sequences of the G-L Intergenic region.
