Complete Genome Sequences of Two Human Adenovirus Type 55 Isolates from South Korea and the United States.

ABSTRACT: Here, we report two complete genome sequences of human adenovirus 55 (HAdV-55) isolates, from a patient in Pennsylvania in 2006 and a U.S. military member in South Korea in 2019. The findings demonstrate the continued global transmission of HAdV-55 viruses in both military and civilian populations.

Project description:Introduction:In the context of different regulatory environments, different patterns of e-cigarette use have emerged among adolescents worldwide. The United States and South Korea are two examples, the latter of which has maintained much more extensive regulation of e-cigarettes. Methods:This analysis compares the prevalence of e-cigarette and conventional cigarette use between 2011 and 2015 from the Korean Youth Risk Behavior Web-based Survey and the U.S. National Youth Tobacco Survey, both nationally representative samples of middle and high school students that use similar questions. Results:E-cigarette prevalence (past 30 days) among South Korean adolescents decreased from 4.7% in 2011 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 4.4-5.0) to 4.0% (3.7-4.3) in 2015 but increased dramatically among US adolescents from 0.9% (0.7-1.2) to 11.2% (9.9-12.7). Cigarette prevalence (past 30 days) decreased in South Korea from 12.1% (11.6-12.7) to 7.8% (CI: 7.3-8.3) and in the United States from 11.1% (9.5-12.6) to 6.1% (5.1-7.3). Combined prevalence of cigarette and e-cigarette use (adjusting for dual users) decreased in South Korea from 13.2% (12.7-13.8) to 8.5% (8.0-9.1) but increased in the United States from 11.3% (9.7-12.9) to 14.0% (12.4-15.7). Conclusions:In South Korea, where e-cigarettes are extensively regulated, adolescent e-cigarette use remained stable at a low level, whereas in the United States, where e-cigarette regulation has been limited, e-cigarette use increased. Combined e-cigarette plus cigarette use declined in South Korea whereas it increased in the United States. The restrictive policies in South Korea likely contributed to lower overall product use. Implications:This paper compared the strength of regulation of South Korea and the United States with the prevalence of adolescents' e-cigarette and cigarette use and suggests that more restrictive policies likely to contribute to lower e-cigarette use and overall use of e-cigarette and cigarette.
