摘要

A 62-year-old woman acquired acute hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection after heterosexual contact with a known HCV positive former injecting drug user. There were no known sexual or other risk factors for HCV acquisition. Phylogenetic analysis confirmed the case and index were infected with identical genotype 3a strains, consistent with heterosexual transmission in the absence of specific risk factors.

Epidemiology of injecting drug use, prevalence of injecting-related harm, and exposure to behavioural and environmental risks among people who inject drugs: a systematic review

Louisa Degenhardt, Paige Webb, Samantha Colledge-Frisby, Jeremy Ireland, Alice Wheeler, Sophie Ottaviano, Alex Willing, Abe Kairouz, Evan B. Cunningham, Behzad Hajarizadeh, Janni Leung, Lucy Tran, Olivia Price, Amy Peacock, Peter Vickerman, Michael Farrell, Gregory J. Dore, Matthew Hickman, Jason Grebely

Summary: This global systematic review examines the prevalence of injecting drug use (IDU), related harms such as HIV, HCV, and HBV infections and overdose, and sociodemographic characteristics and risk exposures of people who inject drugs. The findings show that IDU is documented in most countries and territories, and an estimated 14.8 million people globally inject drugs. These individuals are vulnerable to various health and social risks, including unstable housing, incarceration, and sex work.

Summary: This study aims to investigate the rationality of the allocation guidelines in a hepatitis B endemic area that uses corneas from hepatitis B donors. The results showed that allocating corneas from HBsAg(+) or anti-HBc(+) donors to HBsAg(+) or hepatitis B surface antibody recipients maximizes cornea usage from hepatitis B donors without compromising transplant safety.

Summary: High-intermediate endemicity for HBsAg and high endemicity for anti-HCV antibodies were found in three large regions of Kazakhstan. Blood transfusion was associated with anti-HCV seropositivity, but further epidemiological studies are needed to assess the effectiveness of preventive measures in healthcare settings.

Strategies to identify hepatitis C virus infection in patients receiving anticancer therapy: a cross-sectional study

Summary: This study compared the performance of selective HCV screening strategies for cancer patients receiving systemic anticancer therapy between 2013-2014. The results showed that combined screening had the highest sensitivity for detecting anti-HCV patients, but still missed 5% of them. These findings support the universal HCV screening to identify all HCV-infected cancer patients.

Spontaneous Clearance of Vertically Acquired Hepatitis C Infection: Implications for Testing and Treatment

A. E. Ades, Fabiana Gordon, Karen Scott, Intira Jeannie Collins, Claire Thorne, Lucy Pembrey, Elizabeth Chappell, Eugenia Marine-Barjoan, Karina Butler, Giuseppe Indolfi, Diana M. Gibb, Ali Judd

Summary: Based on the largest purely prospective dataset assembled to date, this study found that 66% of confirmed vertically acquired hepatitis C virus infections clear spontaneously by age 5 years, rather than the 25%-40% assumed in current guidelines. Treatment before age 3 would avoid loss to follow-up but result in substantial overtreatment.

Summary: We propose that sexual behavior patterns may influence the formation of transmission networks, and this hypothesis can be addressed by quantifying mapped interactions between groups based on similarities in sexual behavior along a virus phylogeny. This approach is particularly relevant for studying large transmission networks such as HIV or COVID-19.

Summary: A 24-hour sample delay at room temperature does not affect the viability and total viable cell numbers. Long-term delays (>4 days) result in reduced losses of total viable cell number and cell viability in samples stored at 4 degrees C. Immune phenotype and function are slightly altered after 24 hours of storage, with further impacts reduced in samples stored at 4 degrees C.

Summary: Whole-genome sequencing of SARS-CoV-2-positive specimens from different laboratories in Sydney, Australia showed predominantly concordant matched genome sequences with a median pairwise identity of 99.997%. Differences were mainly driven by ambiguous site content. Ignoring these differences may lead to significant variations in the number of defined clusters in epidemiological inference based on single nucleotide variant distances.

Summary: Extensive studies into the molecular features of SARS-CoV-2 have enhanced global surveillance and investigation. Whole genome sequencing is crucial for identifying the source and transmission routes of the virus. Different levels of SARS-CoV-2 genomics capacity have been established in Australian public health laboratories, and participating laboratories are recommended to join an external proficiency testing program. This study describes the development of such a program, which assessed laboratory performance and provided valuable insights into the current state of SARS-CoV-2 genomics in public health across Australia.

Evolution of the SARS-CoV-2 omicron variants BA.1 to BA.5: Implications for immune escape and transmission

Lok Bahadur Shrestha, Charles Foster, William Rawlinson, Nicodemus Tedla, Rowena A. Bull

Summary: The Omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2 is a major public health concern due to its high infectivity and antibody evasion. It has rapidly become the dominant variant worldwide and has evolved through several variants. The evolution of Omicron is thought to be influenced by zoonotic spillage, infection in immunocompromised individuals, and undiagnosed spread in the community. Current research suggests that Omicron is more infectious than the original Wuhan-Hu-1 and Delta variants, but less severe in terms of its impact on lung tissue. Vaccines have shown reduced effectiveness against Omicron, but booster shots can improve efficacy. Broadly neutralizing monoclonal antibodies have limited effectiveness against Omicron, with some exceptions. New variants, such as BA.4 and BA.5, are emerging and are reported to be more transmissible and resistant to immunity generated by previous variants and monoclonal antibodies.

Summary: Among environmental factors associated with T1D, enterovirus infections have been identified as the main trigger for T1D development. However, the association between respiratory tract infections and T1D is not well understood. There is a lack of molecular-level data characterizing infectious agents, preventing the identification of specific agents driving the association between respiratory infections and T1D. The impact of SARS-CoV-2 infections on IA/T1D development remains unclear.

Persistence of a Frameshifting Deletion in SARS-CoV-2 ORF7a for the Duration of a Major Outbreak

Charles S. P. Foster, Rowena A. Bull, Nicodemus Tedla, Fernando Santiago, David Agapiou, Anurag Adhikari, Gregory J. Walker, Lok Bahadur Shrestha, Sebastiaan J. Van Hal, Ki Wook Kim, William D. Rawlinson

Summary: Australia experienced widespread COVID-19 outbreaks caused by the SARS-CoV-2 Delta variant. A deletion mutation (Delta-ORF7a(Delta 17del)) in the ORF7a gene was found in most Australian outbreak cases. Previous studies suggested that ORF7a deletion mutations do not persist in the population, but this study found that Delta-ORF7a(Delta 17del) genomes persisted in the Australian outbreak.

Summary: Serological diagnostic assays are crucial for understanding an individual's immunity to SARS-CoV-2, tracking the virus spread, and evaluating population immunity. Through a dot blot assay, researchers compared the antibody profiles of individuals with different severities of COVID-19 and found patient-specific differences in the anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibody responses. These findings highlight the variability in the antibody response and the importance of considering individual differences when assessing protective antibody status.
