Molecular epidemiology of ECHO 6 virus, the causative agent of the 2006 outbreak of serous meningitis in Khabarovsk

A total of 3194 cases of enterovirus meningitis were notified in the Russian Federation in 2005, of them there were 1434 cases in the Khabarovsk Territory. Enteroviruses were isolated from 1020 out of the virologically studied 1362 patients from the Khabarovsk Territory. Viruses E6 and E30 were isol...

Summary:A total of 3194 cases of enterovirus meningitis were notified in the Russian Federation in 2005, of them there were 1434 cases in the Khabarovsk Territory. Enteroviruses were isolated from 1020 out of the virologically studied 1362 patients from the Khabarovsk Territory. Viruses E6 and E30 were isolated in 80 and 14.7% of cases, respectively. E1, E3, E7, E33, Coxsackie virus B1, B4, B5, and A10 were sporadically detected. The E6 strains isolated in Komsomolsk-on-Amur were identical while E6 strains isolated in Khabarovsk belonged to two different genotypes and greatly differed from those isolated in Konsomolsk-on-Amur. The virus E30 strains isolated in Khabarovsk and Komsomolsk-on-Amur had a 1% difference in VP1 genome nucleotide sequence and belonged to E30 subtype that circulated in Russia and Kazakhstan in 2004-2005.
