Abstract

BACKGROUND: Five cases of poliomyelitis due to type 2 or 3 recombinant vaccine-derived polioviruses (VDPVs) were reported in the Toliara province of Madagascar in 2005. METHODS: We sequenced the genome of the VDPVs isolated from the patients and from 12 healthy children and characterized phenotypic aspects, including pathogenicity, in mice transgenic for the poliovirus receptor. RESULTS: We identified 6 highly complex mosaic recombinant lineages composed of sequences derived from different vaccine polioviruses and other species C human enteroviruses (HEV-Cs). Most had some recombinant genome features in common and contained nucleotide sequences closely related to certain cocirculating coxsackie A virus isolates. However, they differed in terms of their recombinant characteristics or nucleotide substitutions and phenotypic features. All VDPVs were neurovirulent in mice. CONCLUSIONS: This study confirms the genetic relationship between type 2 and 3 VDPVs, indicating that both types can be involved in a single outbreak of disease. Our results highlight the various ways in which a vaccine-derived poliovirus may become pathogenic in complex viral ecosystems, through frequent recombination events and mutations. Intertypic recombination between cocirculating HEV-Cs (including polioviruses) appears to be a common mechanism of genetic plasticity underlying transverse genetic variability.

  • The genomes of the VDPVs from the 2001-2002 and 2005 Madagascar outbreaks belong to several independent, complex mosaic recombinant lineages composed of sequences derived from vaccine polioviruses and other co-circulating species C human enteroviruses.

    “The genomes of these VDPVs belong to several independent, complex mosaic recombinant lineages composed of sequences derived from vaccine polioviruses and other co-circulating species C human enteroviruses (human EV-C) (4,5).”
  • All these results indicated an intense circulation of enterovirus strains and a rapid evolution between PV and HEV-C, involving multiple rounds of intratypic and intertypic recombination in a short period of time and in a restricted geographic area.

    “All these results indicated an intense circulation of enterovirus strains and a rapid evolution between PV and HEV-C, involving multiple rounds of intratypic and intertypic recombination in a short period of time and in a restricted geographic area [89,90].”
  • The cVDPV of both types in Madagascar presented PV/HEV-C recombinant genomes, confirming that cVDPVs are associated with the co-circulation of HEV-Cs and with genetic exchanges between both partners.

    “The cVDPV of both types presented PV/HEV-C recombinant genomes, confirming that cVDPVs are associated with the co-circulation of HEV-Cs and with genetic exchanges between both partners.”
  • The finding that some recombinant cVDPV genomes have kept only the capsid genomic regions from the genuine OPV strains indicated that all the other parts of the genome can be shared by other HEV-Cs.

    “The finding that some recombinant cVDPV genomes have kept only the capsid genomic regions from the genuine OPV strains [54,61,67,89,90] indicated that all the other parts of the genome can be shared by other HEV-Cs.”
  • All recombinant cVDPV genomes described so far had kept at least the entire region encoding the capsid proteins of OPV strains (with more than 1% nt substitutions), and some or all of the rest of the genome, particularly the region encoding non-structural proteins, originates from other HEV-Cs.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
