Title in Portuguese
Variabilidade genética de adenovírus humano da espécie B, associados a casos de infecção respiratória aguda, em São Paulo, de 1995 a 2006
Keywords in Portuguese
Adenovírus humano
Filogenia
Infecção respiratória
Reação de sequenciamento
Região E3
Varibalidade genética
Abstract in Portuguese
Adenovirus humanos são responsáveis por infecção respiratória aguda (IRA) em crianças e adultos, sendo os das espécies B e C mais frequêntes. Com o objetivo de estudar a variabilidade genética de HAdVs, 3087 amostras de aspirado de nasofaringe foram colhidas de crianças, em São Paulo, de 1995 à 2006. A PCR direcionada ao gene VA-RNA detectou 677 adenovírus (22%). O sequenciamento dos genes hexon, fibra e região E3 foram utilizados para determinar os sorotipos e estudar sua variabilidade genética. Dos 677 adenovírus, 69% são da espécie B, 23% da C e 0,7% da E. Variabilidades genéticas foram observadas em todas as regiões estudadas, por meio de mutações, evidenciadas por substituições, recombinações e deleções. Os genes que apresentaram maior variabilidade foram VA-RNA e E3 ORF7.7. Genomas virais de DNA, como dos adenovírus, podem se manter estáveis em condições diversas, contudo, a pressão sofrida por esses genomas, através da resposta imunológica do hospedeiro, fazem com que seu mecanismos evolutivos entrem em operação e variabilidades genéticas sejam observadas.

Abstract in English
Human adenoviruses (HAdV) cause acute respiratory disease (ARD) in children and adults, being the adenovirus from species B and C the most frequently detected. With the aim of study the genetic variability of HAdV, 3087 nasopharyngeal aspirate were collected from children in São Paulo, from 1995 to 2006. PCR assay directed to adenovirus VA-RNA gene detected 677 HAdV (22%). Sequencing of the hexon and fiber genes and the E3 region were done to determine the serotypes and study genetic variability. Among the 677 adenoviruses detected 69 % were classified as species B, 23% as species C and 0,7 % as species E. Genetic variability was observed in all studied region, specially at the 7.7Orf of the E3 region and the VA-RNA gene. Genetic modifications were observed as recombination, substitutions and deletions. It is known that viral DNA genomes, as adenovirus, remain genetically stable under a variety of conditions, however, the pressure of the host on these viruses make that their evolutionary mechanisms come to operation and genetic variability are observed.
