Abstract

Objective To determine the complete genomic sequences of 3 Dengue 2 virus (DEN-2) strains isolated in Guangdong province, China and to investigate their genotypes and sources. Methods The complete genomic sequences of 3 DEN-2 strains (GD09/93, GD05/98, and GD19/2001) from Guangdong province were established by RT-PCR amplification. The phylogenetic tree of DEN-2 was constructed by Kimura method. Results The complete genomic sequences of 3 DEN-2 strains were 10 723 nucleotides (nt) in length and contained a single long open reading frame (ORF) of 10 173 nucleotides (97-10 269 nt), encoding 3391 amino acids. The ORF encoded structural and non-structural proteins, flanked by 5' and 3' non-coding regions. Comparing GD05/98 with GD09/93, GD05/98 with GD19/2001, and GD09/93 with GD19/2001, the nucleotide sequence homologies were 93.3%, 92.4%, and 97.6%, respectively, and the deduced amino acid sequence homologies were 96.7%, 96.5%, and 98.5%, respectively. Conclusion The DEN-2 strains are pathogenic in suckling mice. Compared with DEN-2-04 strain (nonpathogenic in suckling mice), there are 18 amino acid substitutions that confer changes in charge or polarity. The charge changes at PrM-134, NS2A-153, and NS4B-102 have a relatively strong impact on the antigenicity. GD05/98 strain falls within the groupⅡ comprising Thailand strains, while GD09/93 and GD19/2001 strains fall within the group Ⅳ comprising strains from Indonesia, Australian and Taiwan. There are different DEN genotypes in China, and one genotype of DEN-2 may be transmitted in different periods.
