Abstract

Objective To trace the virus from an imported viral hemorrhagic fever case in Qinhuangdao in 2012, molecular characteristics of the pathogen were studied. Methods The serum collected from the suspected case was detected for IgM antibody by ELISA, and viral nucleic acid of serum and urine samples were detected by real-time RT-PCR. Furthermore, NS1 segment was amplified by RT-PCR and sequenced. The genetic and phylogenetic analysis based on NS1 was computed. Results IgM anti-DENV was found in the serum QHD-01-BS1, BS2, and the NS1 gene sequences of serotype 2 of Dengue virus (DEN2) were recovered from the serum QHD-01-BS1 and the urine QHD-01-US respectively. The comparison showed the strains QHD-01-BS1 and QHD-01-US were very closely related to GWL39 INDI-01, GWL18 INDI-01 the COM genotype)isolated from India, with 97.3% sequence identity and 0.04 genetic distance. The further phylogenetic tree indicated the strains QHD-01-BS1 and QHD-01-US were classified as a lineage with GWL39 INDI-01, GWL18 INDI-01, belonged to genotype COM. Conclusion These results suggest the imported viral hemorrhagic fever case was infected by DENV2 from India and most likely infected in India.
