[h=3]Abstract[/h] [h=4]BACKGROUND:[/h] Influenza A/H1N1pdm09 virus was first detected in Vietnam on May 31, 2009 and continues to circulate in Vietnam as a seasonal influenza virus. This study has monitored genotypic and phenotypic changes in this group of viruses during 2010-2013 period.
[h=4]METHOD:[/h] Hemagluttinin (HA) genes from 61 isolates and neuraminidase (NA) genes from 46 isolates were sequenced and compared with vaccine stain A/California/07/09 and other contemporary isolates from neighboring countries. Hemagglutination inhibition assays (HI) and neuraminidase inhibition assay (NAI) also were performed on these isolates.
[h=4]RESULTS:[/h] The HA and NA phylogenies revealed 6 and 7 groups respectively. Five isolates (8.2%) had substitutions G155E and N156K in the HA, which were associated with reduced HI titers by antiserum raised against the vaccine virus A/California/07/2009. One isolate, from 2011 and one isolate from 2013, had a predicted H275Y substitution in the neuraminidase molecule, which was associated with reduced susceptibility to oseltamivir in a NAI assay. We also identified a D222N change in the HA of a virus isolated from a fatal case in 2013.
[h=4]CONCLUSION:[/h] Significant genotypic and phenotypic changes in in A/H1N1pdm09 influenza viruses were detected by the National Influenza Surveillance System(NISS) in Vietnam between 2010 and 2013 highlighting the value of this system to Vietnam and to the region. Sustained NISS and continued virological monitoring of seasonal influenza viruses is required for vaccine policy development in Vietnam. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
