Abstract
Background: Human parainfluenza virus-1 (HPIV-1) is a notable pathogen instigating acute respiratory tract infections in children. The article is to elucidate the epidemiological and genetic characteristics of HPIV-1 circulating in Hangzhou during the period of 2021-2022.
Methods: A cohort of 2360 nasopharyngeal swabs were amassed and subsequently examined via RT-PCR, with HPIV-1 positive samples undergoing P gene sequencing.
Results: The highest HPIV-1 infection rates were found in children aged between 3 and 6 years. A pronounced positive rate persisted through the latter half of 2021, with a notable decline observed in the initial half of 2022. All HPIV-1 strains could be clustered into 2 groups: Cluster 1, with strains similar to those found in Japan (LC764865, LC764864), and Cluster 2, with strains similar to the Beijing strain (MW575643).
Conclusion: In conclusion, our study contributes to the comprehensive data on the epidemiological and genetic characteristics of HPIV-1 in pediatric patients from Hangzhou, post the COVID-19 peak.
期刊介绍：
Virology Journal is an open access, peer reviewed journal that considers articles on all aspects of virology, including research on the viruses of animals, plants and microbes. The journal welcomes basic research as well as pre-clinical and clinical studies of novel diagnostic tools, vaccines and anti-viral therapies.
The Editorial policy of Virology Journal is to publish all research which is assessed by peer reviewers to be a coherent and sound addition to the scientific literature, and puts less emphasis on interest levels or perceived impact.
