ABSTRACT The emergence of SARS-CoV-2 variants concern such as the B.1.1.7, B.1.351 and P.1 have prompted calls for governments worldwide to increase their genomic biosurveillance efforts. Globally, quarantine outbreak management measures been implemented stem introduction these monitor any emerging potential clinical significance domestically. Here, we describe a new lineage, mainly from Central Visayas region Philippines. This emergent variant is characterized by 13 lineage-defining...
Abstract We report the sequencing and analysis of 60 XBC 114 XBC.1 SARS-CoV-2 lineages detected in Philippines from August to September 2022, which are regarded as recombinant BA.2 Omicron B.1.617.2 Delta (21I Clade) variants. The sequences described here place country with earliest highest number cases within included period. Majority were sampled adjacent Davao Soccskargen regions southern Philippines, but have also been observed at lower proportions other country. Time-scaled phylogenetic...
Abstract The Omicron severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) variant led to a dramatic global epidemic wave following detection in South Africa November 2021. BA.1 lineage was dominant and responsible for most SARS-CoV-2 outbreaks countries around the world during December 2021–January 2022, while other lineages, including BA.2, accounted minority of isolates. Here, we describe Philippines by analysing genomic data. Our results identify presence both BA.2 lineages 2021,...
ABSTRACT A SARS-CoV-2 lineage designated as P.3 with multiple signature mutations in the Spike protein region was recently reported cases from Central Visayas Region of Philippines. Whole genome sequencing revealed that 33 samples under this all contain E484K, N501Y, and P681H previously found variants concern (VOC) such B.1.351, P.1 B.1.1.7 first South Africa, Brazil, United Kingdom, respectively. The possible implications were analyzed for their potential effects on structure, stability,...
In has increasingly been observed that viral and bacterial coinfection frequently occurs among cultured shrimp this could exacerbate the disease phenotype. Here, we describe a newly discovered strain, Vibrio harveyi PH1009 collected from Masbate Island, Philippines was found to be co-infecting with White Spot Syndrome virus in sample of black tiger prawn, Penaeus monodon. The genome V. sequenced, assembled, annotated. Average Nucleotide identity calculation strains confirmed its taxonomic...
We report the first draft genome sequence of an acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease (AHPND)-causing Vibrio parahaemolyticus strain isolated from a Penaeus vannamei sample Philippines. The carries genes encoding Pir-like toxin pair PirAvp and PirBvp.
We report the sequencing and detection of 36 severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) samples containing lineage-defining mutations specific to viruses belonging B.1.1.7 lineage in Philippines.
Millions have been infected with Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) since its emergence in 2019, but most patients make a full recovery. The long-term consequences of the infection are anticipated to unravel succeeding years reports experiencing chronic, debilitating sequelae post-infection commonly referred as Long COVID. Various Variants Concern (VoCs) emerged SARS-CoV-2 virus evolved displaying increased infectivity and immune evasiveness. We investigate whether...
The emergence of multidrug-resistant bacterial strains in diverse settings has been reported globally. In the Philippine shrimp aquaculture industry, antibiotics are used for treatment diseases during production cycle. We report draft genome Vibrio parahaemolyticus PH698, a strain isolated from farm.
ABSTRACT We report the sequencing and detection of 39 Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) samples containing lineage-defining mutations specific to viruses belonging B.1.1.7 lineage (UK variant) in Philippines.
ABSTRACT The ability of bacteria to metabolize a wide variety carbon sources has been known aid in their for efficient colonization. Vibrio parahaemolyticus, aquatic pathogen reported have the number carbohydrates including D-glucose, D-galactose, L-arabinose, D-mannose, and D-ribose name few. Classical isolation V. parahaemolyticus from other members family Vibrionaceae relies on its utilization pattern. Conventionally, lacks utilize sucrose this basis using Thiosulfate-citrate-bile...
