Isolation of Three Novel Senecavirus A Strains and Recombination Analysis Among Senecaviruses in China.

ABSTRACT: Senecavirus A (SVA), an emerging swine picornavirus of swine, is one of the causative agents of vesicular disease which is clinically indistinguishable from foot-and-mouth disease in pigs. Here, 3 cases of vesicular disease were reported which was caused by SVA in November 2018 in Henan, China. Three new SVA strains were identified and conducted a genetically evolutionary analysis. The isolates shared 98.1-99.0% genomic pairwise identity to each other and had the highest similarity, of 98.3-98.7%, with the American strain KS15-01, respectively. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that the Chinese prevalent strains could be clearly divided into cluster 1, cluster 2, and cluster 3. Furthermore, one isolate (HeNNY-1/2018) and two previously reported strains (HB-CH-2016 and SVA/CHN/10/2017) were identified as recombinants using several algorithms. It revealed that the recombination among SVA strains has occurred in China since 2016 or earlier. The findings of studies updated the prevalent status of SVA in China. Besides, the genetic evolution and recombinant events of SVA should be attracted more attentions in the future.

Project description:Senecavirus A (SVA) is a reemerging virus, and recent evidence has emphasized the importance of SVA recombination in vivo on virus evolution. In this study, we report the development of an infectious cDNA clone for the SVA/HLJ/CHA/2016 strain. We used this strain to develop a reporter virus expressing enhanced green fluorescent protein (eGFP), which we then used to screen for a recombination-deficient SVA by an eGFP retention assay. Sequencing of the virus that retained the eGFP following passage allowed us to identify the nonsynonymous mutations (S460L alone and I212V-S460L in combination) in the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) region of the genome. We developed a Senecavirus-specific cell culture-based recombination assay, which we used to elucidate the role of RdRp in SVA recombination. Our results demonstrate that these two polymerase variants (S460L and I212/S460L) have reduced recombination capacity. These results indicate that the RdRp plays a central role in SVA replicative recombination. Notably, our results showed that the two recombination-deficient variants have higher replication fidelity than the wild type (WT) and display decreased ribavirin sensitivity compared to the WT. In addition, these two mutants exhibited significantly increased fitness in vitro compared to the WT. These results demonstrate that recombination and mutation rates are intimately linked. Our results have important implications for understanding the crucial role of the RdRp in virus recombination and fitness, especially in the molecular mechanisms of SVA evolution and pathogenicity.IMPORTANCE Recent evidence has emphasized the importance of SVA recombination on virus evolution in vivo We describe the first assays to study Senecavirus A recombination. The results show that the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase plays a crucial role in recombination and that recombination can impact the fitness of SVA in cell culture. Further, SVA polymerase fidelity is closely related to recombination efficiency. The results provide key insights into the role of recombination in positive-strand RNA viruses.

Project description:Bovine enterovirus (BEV) consisting of enterovirus species E (EV-E) and F (EV-F) is the causative agent associated with respiratory and gastrointestinal diseases in cattle. Here, we reported the characterization, genetic diversity, and recombination of novel BEV strains isolated from the major cattle-raising regions in China during 2012-2018. Twenty-seven BEV strains were successfully isolated and characterized. Molecular characterization demonstrated that the majority of these novel BEV strains (24/27) were EV-E, while only few strains (3/27) were EV-F. Sequence analysis revealed the diversity of the circulating BEV strains such as species and subtypes where different species or subtype coinfections were detected in the same regions and even in the same cattle herds. For the EV-E, two novel subtypes, designated as EV-E6 and EV-E7, were revealed in addition to the currently reported EV-E1-EV-E5. Comparative genomic analysis revealed the intraspecies and interspecies genetic exchanges among BEV isolates. The representative strain HeN-B62 was probably from AN12 (EV-F7) and PS-87-Belfast (EV-F3) strains. The interspecies recombination between EV-E and EV-F was also discovered, where the EV-F7-AN12 might be from EV-E5 and EV-F1, and EV-E5-MexKSU/5 may be recombined from EV-F7 and EV-E1. The aforementioned results revealed the genetic diversity and recombination of novel BEV strains and unveiled the different BEV species or subtype infections in the same cattle herd, which will broaden the understanding of enterovirus genetic diversity, recombination, pathogenesis, and prevention of disease outbreaks.ImportanceBovine enterovirus (BEV) infection is an emerging disease in China that is characterized by digestive, respiratory, and reproductive disorders. In this study, we first reported two novel EV-E subtypes detected in cattle herds in China, unveiled the coinfection of two enterovirus species (EV-E/EV-F) and different subtypes (EV-E2/EV-E7, EV-E1/EV-E7, and EV-E3/EV-E6) in the same cattle herds, and revealed the enterovirus genetic exchange in intraspecies and interspecies recombination. These results provide an important update of enterovirus prevalence and epidemiological aspects and contribute to a better understanding of enterovirus genetic diversity, evolution, and pathogenesis.
