Summary

Three recombinant human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) strains were identified in Russia. These strains, with genotypes gagAenvB, gagDenvG, and gagAenvE, show diverse origins, including drug-addicted populations and international importations.

Area of Science:

  • Virology
  • Molecular Epidemiology
  • Public Health

Context:

  • Recombinant human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) strains are emerging globally.
  • Understanding the genetic diversity and origin of circulating HIV strains is crucial for effective public health interventions.
  • Previous studies have documented various HIV genotypes in Russia, but the specific recombinant forms require detailed investigation.

Purpose:

  • To identify and characterize the genotypes of recombinant human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) circulating in Russia.
  • To determine the origins and transmission patterns of these newly identified recombinant HIV strains.
  • To provide molecular epidemiological data to inform HIV prevention and control strategies in the region.

Summary:

  • Three distinct recombinant human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) strains have been identified in Russia.

  • These strains belong to genotypes gagAenvB, gagDenvG, and gagAenvE.
  • The gagAenvB genotype co-circulates with parental strains in drug-using populations, while gagDenvG appears to have African origins and gagAenvE likely originated from Southeast Asia.

    • Impact:

    • The findings highlight the complex genetic landscape of HIV in Russia, with implications for diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.
    • Identifying the origins of recombinant strains aids in tracing viral transmission pathways and understanding global HIV evolution.
    • This research contributes essential data for targeted public health interventions and the development of effective HIV control programs in Russia and potentially beyond.
