“…JX477651 [1E]) and two patients who returned to Japan in 2017 (RVs/ Yokohama.JPN/3.17 [1E] and RVs/Osaka. JPN/41.17 [1E]) [ 11 ]. Identifying the rubella virus strain is essential in verifying the elimination of rubella and the dissolution of indigenous rubella virus strains.…”

“…These data can be used to track virus control and elimination progress, help case classification, and trace transmission pathways [ 3 ]. Analyses of rubella strains in Indonesia have only been done to a minimal extent: only three sequences of the rubella virus genotype 1E lineage have been deposited to the GenBank, which came from travelers returning to the United States and Japan from Indonesia [ 11 ]. Moreover, to our best knowledge, no studies have been conducted regarding virological surveillance of the rubella virus in Indonesia after the vaccination campaign.…”

Phylogenetic analysis of congenital rubella virus from Indonesia: a case report

Background Rubella is a common inherited infection resulting in congenital cataracts and a significant cause of permanent vision loss in developing countries. In 2016, Indonesia had the highest number of congenital rubella syndrome (CRS) cases globally. Here, we report the first genotype of the rubella virus extracted from the eye lens from a child with congenital cataracts due to CRS. Case presentation A female neonate was delivered by an elective caesarean delivery with normal birth weight at term from a 24-year-old mother in the rural setting. The baby presented with bilateral congenital cataracts, small-moderate secundum atrial septal defect, severe supravalvular pulmonary stenosis, and profound bilateral hearing loss. She also had microcephaly and splenomegaly. The patient's serology showed persistent positive IgG for rubella virus at the age of four years and four months. Following extraction during cataract surgery, viral detection of the lenses identified the presence of rubella. Phylogenetic analysis confirmed that the virus was grouped into genotype 1E. Conclusions Our study reports the first phylogenetic analysis of the rubella virus extracted from the eye lens of a child with CRS in Indonesia. The detection of the rubella virus from eye lenses is remarkably promising. Our findings also emphasize the importance of molecular epidemiology in tracking the origin of rubella infection toward achieving virus eradication.

“…Without elevated herd immunity and as a result of the increasing number of foreign visitors ( Japan Tourism Agency, Ministry of Land Infrastructure and Transport, 2017 , Japan National Tourism Organization, 2017 ), Japan will experience an increased risk of infectious disease outbreaks ( Kanbayashi et al, 2018 , Komabayashi et al, 2018 ). Therefore, it is vital to develop risk assessment systems at greater geographic resolutions.…”

“…The Caliciviridae is represented by Norovirus , infamous for causing acute infectious gastroenteritis with symptoms including rapid onset, abundant vomiting or diarrhoeal disease ( Anttila et al, 2010 ; Furuta et al, 2003 ; Maunula et al, 2012 ). The human pathogen Rubella virus of the genus Rubivirus of family Togaviridae ( Kanbayashi et al, 2018 ; Mangala Prasad , 2017 ) which is responsible for foetal death or congenital rubella syndrome (CRS) in pregnant women has also been included in this study. Semliki Forest virus is a PRV of the genus Alphavirus from Togaviridae family reported to cause lethal encephalitis by infection of the central nervous system (CNS) ( Atkins et al, 1999 ).…”

A comparative genomics-based study of positive strand RNA viruses emphasizing on SARS-CoV-2 utilizing dinucleotide signature, codon usage and codon context analyses

The novel corona virus disease or COVID-19 caused by a positive strand RNA virus (PRV) called SARS-CoV-2 is plaguing the entire planet as we conduct this study. In this study a multifaceted analysis was carried out employing dinucleotide signature, codon usage and codon context to compare and unravel the genomic as well as genic characteristics of the SARS-CoV-2 isolates and how they compare to other PRVs which represents some of the most pathogenic human viruses. The main emphasis of this study was to comprehend the codon biology of the SARS-CoV-2 in the backdrop of the other PRVs like Poliovirus, Japanese encephalitis virus, Hepatitis C virus, Norovirus , Rubella virus, Semliki Forest virus, Zika virus, Dengue virus, Human rhinoviruses and the Betacoronaviruses since codon usage pattern along with the nucleotide composition prevalent within the viral genome helps to understand the biology and evolution of viruses. Our results suggest discrete genomic dinucleotide signature within the PRVs. Some of the genes from the different SARS-CoV-2 isolates were also found to demonstrate heterogeneity in terms of their dinucleotide signature. The SARS-CoV-2 isolates also demonstrated a codon context trend characteristically dissimilar to the other PRVs. The findings of this study are expected to contribute to the developing global knowledge base in countering COVID-19.
