The full-length genome of one human bocavirus (HBoV) and the VP1 sequences of nine HBoV were amplified from patients' samples by PCR, cloned into pGEM-T vector separately, and sequenced. In this study, the one full length gemome and nine VP1 sequences of HBoV were aligened with 14 sequences of Parvoviruses which were canonical exemplars in Parvovirinae. Phylogenetic analysis showed that HBoV capsid sequences positioned closely to B19 parvovirus, although they positioned far in phylogenetic tree based on full length genome. Many similarities were found between HBoV and B19 in capsid by alignment on secondary structural elements. Because both B19 and HBoV are the only Parvoviruses that infect mankind, so study on HBoV may be used for reference to B19 which had been studied for about 30 years. By analysis of mutational sites, HBoV capsid protein showed a highly conserved secondary structural elements, but highly active in VP1-U, leading end of VP2 and insertions between the strands of the betaG-H. This cued that HBoV inclined to immune evasion and infectant adaptive faculty.

Epidemiological characteristics of eleven common respiratory viral infections in children.

Department of Pediatrics, Yan'an University Affiliated Hospital, Yan'an, 716000, China.
Background: Lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs) are one of the leading causes of hospital admissions among children. In this study, we aimed to describe the epidemiological characteristics of viral pathogens associated with LRTIs in hospitalized children in Yan'an; this has yet to be reported in the literature and may guide public health interventions and resource allocation in this region.
Methods: Between June 2021 and May 2023, we conducted a retrospective analysis of the results of viral detection using oral pharyngeal swabs from 4565 children with LRTIs in the Inpatient Department of Yan'an University Affiliated Hospital.
Prevalence and molecular characterization of human bocavirus-1 in children and adults with influenza-like illness from Kunming, Southwest China.

Human bocavirus-1 (HBoV-1) has been associated with respiratory infections in both children and adults, often presenting symptoms similar to those of influenza. Understanding the prevalence and molecular characteristics of HBoV-1 in individuals with influenza-like illness (ILI) is essential for enhancing the diagnosis and treatment of respiratory infections in Kunming, Southwest China. Between December 2017 and December 2023, demographic and clinical data, along with respiratory tract specimens from individuals aged 0 to 97 years with ILI, were collected at three sentinel hospitals in Kunming.

Article Synopsis
- * Treating cells with 5-aza-2'-deoxycytidine (DAC) to inhibit DNA methylation reduced viral DNA production and altered RNA splicing and polyadenylation, indicating that methylation affects HBoV's replication cycle.
- * The study identified DNMT1 as the key enzyme for this methylation process, and the viral protein NS1 promotes the degradation of DNMT1, which helps regulate viral replication and RNA processing.

Objectives: We aimed to describe coinfections and iterative infections with respiratory viruses diagnosed over a 22-month period in 2021-2022 in public university hospitals of the second largest French city.
Material And Methods: Respiratory virus infections were diagnosed by qPCR with the Fast Track Diagnostics Respiratory Pathogens 21 on nasopharyngeal swabs collected between 01/03/2021-31/10/2022 and sent for routine diagnosis purpose to our clinical microbiology-virology laboratory at public university hospitals of Marseille, Southern France.
Results: Nasopharyngeal swabs from 17,689 patients were tested, of which 8,133 (46 %) were positive for ≥1 respiratory virus and 1,255 (15%) were co-infected with ≥2 viruses including 213 (2.

To investigate the changing patterns of respiratory viral infections within the context of COVID-19 pandemic. The etiological surveillance data of eight respiratory viral pathogens among patients with ARIs in Shanghai between 2013 and 2023 were analyzed to evaluate the dynamic patterns of respiratory viral infections in Shanghai compared to global other regions during pre-pandemic (period 1), pandemic (period 2), and post-pandemic (period 3) periods of COVID-19. In Shanghai and various other global regions, there was a delay of 2‒4 months in the peak positive rate of IFV and a reverse seasonality for RSV, HMPV, and HBoV was observed following the relaxation of NPIs.
