GB virus C (GBV-C) evolutionary patterns revealed by analyses of reference genomes, E2 and NS5B sequences amplified from viral strains circulating in the Lisbon area (Portugal).

  • Autores: Branco C, Esteves A, Parreira R, Piedade J

GBV-C is a non-pathogenic virus that is largely dispersed in different human populations. The phylogenetic analysis of the 5′-untranslated region (5’UTR) of the GBV-C genome has led to the segregation of viral strains into six genotypes, but incongruent results are frequently obtained depending on the genome region analyzed. In this report, different phylogenetic approaches and multivariate statistics were combined to disclose evolutionary patterns that contribute to shape GBV-C evolution.

Phylodynamics of the HIV-1 CRF02_AG clade in Cameroon.

Evolutionary analyses have revealed an origin of pandemic HIV-1 group M in the Congo River basin in the first part of the XX century, but the patterns of historical viral spread in or around its epicentre remain largely unexplored. Here, we combine epidemiologic and molecular sequence data to investigate the spatiotemporal patterns of the CRF02_AG clade.

HIV-1 fitness landscape models for indinavir treatment pressure using observed evolution in longitudinal sequence data are predictive for treatment failure

  • Autores: Beheydt G, Bruzzone B, Camacho RJ, De Luca A, Deforche K, Grossman Z, Imbrechts S, Incardona F, Libin P, Pironti A, Rhee SY, Ruiz L, Sangeda RZ, Shafer RW, Sönnerborg A, Theys K, Torti C, Van de Vijver DA, Van Laethem K, Van Wijngaerden E, Vandamme AM, Vercauteren J, Zazzi M

We previously modeled the in vivo evolution of human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) under drug selective pressure from cross-sectional viral sequences. These fitness landscapes (FLs) were made by using first a Bayesian network (BN) to map epistatic substitutions, followed by scaling the fitness landscape based on an HIV evolution simulator trying to evolve the sequences from treatment naïve patients into sequences from patients failing treatment.

Automated subtyping of HIV-1 genetic sequences for clinical and surveillance purposes: Performance evaluation of the new REGA version 3 and seven other tools

  • Autores: Abecasis AB, Camacho RJ, De Oliveira T, Deforche K, Faria NR, Gomez-Lopez A, Imbrechts S, Libin P, Pineda-Peña AC, Vandamme AM
  • Ano de Publicação: 2013

  • Link: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23660484

To investigate differences in pathogenesis, diagnosis and resistance pathways between HIV-1 subtypes, an accurate subtyping tool for large datasets is needed. We aimed to evaluate the performance of automated subtyping tools to classify the different subtypes and circulating recombinant forms using pol, the most sequenced region in clinical practice. We also present the upgraded version 3 of the Rega HIV subtyping tool (REGAv3).

Antiretroviral drug resistance in HIV-1 therapy-naive patients in Cuba

  • Autores: Abrahantes Y, Aleman Y, Alvarez A, Álvarez D, Aragonés C, Beheydt G, Campos J, Correa C, Dekeersmaeker N, Fonseca C, Imbrechts S, Kourí V, Martínez O, Perez J, Perez L, Schrooten Y, Soto Y, Van Laethem K, Vandamme AM, Vinken L

In Cuba, antiretroviral therapy rollout started in 2001 and antiretroviral therapy coverage has reached almost 40% since then. The objectives of this study were therefore to analyze subtype distribution, and level and patterns of drug resistance in therapy-naive HIV-1 patients.

Population structure of Pneumocystis jirovecii isolated from immunodeficiency virus-positive patients

  • Autores: Antunes F, Esteves F, Gaspar J, Mansinho K, Matos O, Moser I, Tavares A

  • Journal: Infection Genetics and Evolution
  • Link: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=Population+structure+of+Pneumocystis+jirovecii+isolated+from+immunodeficiency+virus+positive+patients

Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PcP) is an important opportunistic infection among immunocompromised patients. Genetic characterization of P. jirovecii isolated from HIV-positive patients, based on identification of multiple nucleotide sequences at eight distinct loci, was achieved by using PCR with DNA sequencing and RFLP.

Comparative performance of the REGA subtyping tool version 2 versus version 1

  • Link: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=Comparative+performance+of+the+REGA+subtyping+tool+version+2+versus+version+1

The REGA HIV-1 subtyping tool is a phylogenetic-based method for subtyping HIV-1 genomic sequences that was published in 2005. The subtyping tool combines phylogenetic approaches with recombination detection methods.

Distribution and hybridization of Culex pipiens forms in Greece during the West Nile virus outbreak of 2010

  • Autores: Almeida APG, Gomes B, Kioulos E, Papa A, Pinto J, Vontas J

In 2010, an outbreak of West Nile virus (WNV) infections occurred in the region of Thessaloniki, Central Macedonia, in northern Greece. During this period, Culex pipiens sensu stricto mosquitoes were found infected by WNV lineage 2. Cx. pipiens s.s. presents two distinct biological forms, denoted molestus and pipiens.

Triosephosphate isomerase gene promoter variation:-5G/A and-8G/A polymorphisms in clinical malaria groups in two African populations

  • Autores: Arez AP, Fernandes N, Guerra M, Machado P, Manco L, Miranda J
  • Ano de Publicação: 2015
  • Journal: Infection Genetics and Evolution
  • Link: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25801609

TPI1 promoter polymorphisms occur in high prevalence in individuals from African origin. Malaria-patients from Angola and Mozambique were screened for the TPI1 gene promoter variants rs1800200A>G, (-5G>A), rs1800201G>A, (-8G>A), rs1800202T>G, (-24T>G), and for the intron 5 polymorphism rs2071069G>A, (2262G>A). -5G>A and -8G>A variants occur in 47% and 53% in Angola and Mozambique, respectively while -24T>G was monomorphic for the wild-type T allele.
