Abstract

BACKGROUND: Respiratory viruses circulate everywhere. Rhinoviruses are the most common cause of human upper respiratory tract infections. Therefore, it is necessary to study circulation of their species and types.

AIM: To study circulation of different species and types of rhinoviruses in Saint Petersburg.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: Detection of rhinoviruses was carried out by real-time PCR using commercial kits AmpliSens ORVI-screen-FL (Central Research Institute of Epidemiology of Rospotrebnadzor, Moscow); the study of the genetic diversity of rhinoviruses was carried out by Sanger sequencing method; alignment of the obtained sequences was carried out in the MAFFT program, the phylogenetic tree was built in the RAxML program, visualization was carried out in FigTree.

RESULTS: The most common species of human rhinoviruses circulating in Saint Petersburg are HRV-A, while the types of rhinoviruses almost never repeat.

CONCLUSIONS: On the territory of St. Petersburg, the genetic diversity of rhinoviruses is very widely represented. From December 2020 to October 2021, 70 rhinoviruses were typed, with HRV-A rhinoviruses being the most common (38 rhinoviruses, or 54%). HRV-C and HRV-B were detected in equal numbers (16 rhinoviruses, or 23% each). Phylogenetic trees of genetic types of rhinovirus species A, B, and C were built. The types of rhinoviruses are highly variable, which complicates their study, as well as the development of vaccines against them. Nevertheless, rhinoviruses significantly affect the epidemiological situation, rhinovirus infections can lead to serious health consequences, so they need to be studied.

VPg — priming protein; 5ʹUTR – 5ʹ untranslated region, aim to molecular detection of rhinoviruses; Capsid proteins P1: VP4 — region coding protein, which appears under the capsid and attaches the RNA to the capsid; VP2, VP3, VP1 — located on the surface of the virion, they determine the antigenic diversity; Non-structural proteins P2, P3: 2A and 3C proteases — cleave the viral polyprotein; 2B — releases viral particles from the cell by increasing the cell membrane permeability and calcium outflow from the endoplasmic reticulum; 2C, 2B, and 3A anchor the replication complex to the membrane structure of the host cell; 3B (VPg) — the priming protein sequence is encoded; 3C — cleaves host complement C3, which prevents complement signaling; 3D — RNA-dependent RNA polymerase
