Abstract
¡¡
Yellow
fever is an acute infectious disease that caused by yellow fever
virus, and it¡¯s one of the three infectious diseases of
international health regulations. We tested people from epidemic
areas of Tianjin port in 2014 to investigate the prevalence and
distribution characteristics of yellow fever virus antigen. 192
samples were collected and the positive rate of yellow fever
virus antigen was 12.5%. The positive rates among different
countries, genders, ages, occupations and entry time were
calculated and analyzed. The positive rate of workers engaged in
labor was relatively high, and it had statistical significance
compared to other occupations.

Abstract
¡¡
Torque teno sus virus (TTSuV) has been detected
in pigs with and without diseases. As China¡¯s pig population is
booming, it¡¯s important to understand the prevalence of TTSuV in
healthy pigs. The aim of this study was to systematically
investigate the TTSuV prevalence rate in healthy pigs of
different age groups, reared in intensive farms in the Hunan
province of China. We detected TTSuV in 401 sera samples of
healthy pigs by using PCR with primers located in the
untranslated region (UTR). The positive prevalence rates of
TTSuVs, TTSuV1, TTSuV2, and co-infection with TTSuV1 and TTSuV2
were calculated. The nucleotide identities of TTSuV1 and TTSuV2
between the reference and obtained sequences were calculated
using the P-distance method, and maximum likelihood phylogenetic
trees were created using MEGA6.0. TTSuVs were detected with an
average frequency of 32.17%, while the frequencies of TTSuV1,
TTSuV2, and co-infection with both TTSuV genogroups were 7.99%,
28.92%, and 4.74%, respectively. TTSuV1 and TTSuV2 were detected
in pigs mainly in the age range of 12¨C16 weeks (positive rate
>10%) and 8¨C18 weeks (positive rate >40%), respectively. The
nucleotide identities ranged from 92.9%~97.3% for TTSuV1 and
64.7%~99% for TTSuV2 among the obtained sequences. We also
observed diversity in TTSuVs based on the phylogenetic analysis
of the UTR of the gene. Thus, our study shows the importance of
understanding the distribution of TTSuV, which are potentially
pathogenic agents in healthy pigs.
