MOLECULAR EPIDEMIOLOGY OF ENTEROVIRUSES CAUSING SEVERE NEUROLOGICAL INFECTION FORMS
Abstract
The study analyzes the molecular epidemiology of enteroviruses that caused severe neurologic forms of infection in Belarus in 2016. The obtained results showed the predominating role of Echovirus 9 among the etiologic agents of enteroviral meningitis in 2016. The identified isolates of ECHO 9 revealed significant genetic heterogeneity: they belonged to 3 different genogroups and 4 genovariants. Two of the three genogroups of Echovirus 9 (L and K) were not previously described, and the circulation of the genogroup ω in Eurasia was not previously registered. The results testify to the important role of molecular epidemiology in the surveillance system of non-polio enteroviruses.
