ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE:

To isolate Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) from mosquitoes collected in Tanghe County, Henan province and analyze the genotype of the newly isolated JEV strains and the characteristics of amino acid in the E gene.

METHODS:

Viruses were isolated from mosquitoes collected in 2004 and identified by biological, serological and molecular biologic methods. PrM and E segments of the newly isolated JEV were amplified by RT-PCR, the PCR products were purified and sequenced. Multiple alignment, phylogenetic and amino acid (AA) analysis were carried out by Clustal X (1.8) program, MEGA 3.1 and GENEDOS (3.2).

RESULTS:

Totally 3722 mosquitoes were collected including Culex, Armigeres, Aedes, Anopheline. Three new JEV strains isolated from Culex belonged to genotype 1. The homologue of nucleotide and amino acid of E gene between new JEV strains and live attenuated vaccine strain SA14-14-2 was 86.9-87.7% and 95.2%-97.0%, respectively. Totally there were 12 common sites of amino acid differences in E gene between them.

CONCLUSION:

Newly isolated viruses in Henan province belonged to JEV genotype 1. It suggests that the vaccine strain SA14-14-2 currently used for preventing JE is able to protect people from JEV infection, although there are some amino acid differences between them.
