Abstract
AbstractThe genetic recombination patterns and genetic distribution of HIV-1 are valuable for elucidating the epidemic and genetic diversity of HIV. Numerous HIV-1 circulating recombinant forms (CRFs) have recently emerged and disseminated rapidly. In China, at least 32 CRFs have been reported to account for more than 80% of all HIV infections. However, CRFs derived from the CRF07_BC and CRF55_01B lineages have never been recorded. Here, a novel third-generation CRF involving HIV-1 was identified in four HIV-1-infected patients in Guangdong, China, who had no epidemiological association with each other. Phylogenetic and recombinant analyses confirmed that these strains shared highly similar recombination patterns, with the CRF07_BC backbone substituted by a CRF55_01B segment; therefore, these strains were classified as CRF126_0755. This is the first study of a CRF derived from CRF07_BC and CRF55_01B. Bayesian phylogenetic inference suggested that CRF126_0755 originated in approximately 2005-2007. The present findings reveal that the genotype composition of HIV-1 has become more complex than that of other viruses and highlight the urgent need for continuous molecular screening and epidemic surveillance within HIV-1-infected populations to advance our understanding of viral transmission mechanisms.
