Abstract
Cervical cancer is among the most common malignant tumors in women. The development of rapid screening techniques plays an important role in early screening for cancer treatment. We have developed an HPV screening method, which effectively combines the high-efficiency nucleic acid enrichment of chitosan-modified filter paper and the rapid visual detectability of colorimetric LAMP, along with the enhancement of the tolerance ability of the pH-sensitive LAMP reagent to acidic original samples, making the detection of HPV 16/18 easy to carry out and reliable, which is helpful for the epidemiological prevention and control strategies of HPV-induced cancer. This technique can simultaneously exhibit the "in situ amplification" capability of chitosan-modified filter paper and the nontemperature cycle dependence of visual LAMP detection. Therefore, DNA extraction and amplification can be performed efficiently and quickly within a single reaction where all DNA is concentrated in the QF paper disc. By embedding amino-modified filter paper into the plastic chip, a simple and reliable disposable chip was prepared for rapid HPV16 and HPV18 detection from clinical endometrial samples, and the results were 100% consistent with clinical diagnosis. More importantly, even after the sample was diluted 100-fold, HPV16/18-infected cells could be accurately identified, showing the advantages of the system in early cancer screening. Moreover, for endometrial samples containing plenty of cells, the filter paper could be used to enrich cells by filtration, preventing the acidic fluid from impacting pH-induced colorimetric LAMP detection and realizing direct amplification for HPV identification without nucleic acid extraction. This easy-to-operate system that can analyze a wide range of samples will be suitable for routine on-site HPV screening, dramatically extending the applications and utility for rapid, near-patient nucleic acid testing.

Molecular detection of human papillomavirus prevalence in clinically normal females and identification of high-risk HPV 16 and 18 under low resources setting: a cohort study from Sri Lanka. Virusdisease 2024; 35:271-280.

Abstract
High oncogenic risk types of human papillomaviruses are mainly transmitted via sexual contact and are the main cause of cervical cancer in females in developing countries. Molecular detection of HPV infection enables early cancer detection; however, it is not widely used in low-income countries due to resource constraints. The aim of this study was to assess economical yet sensitive HPV detection and genotyping assays for both physician and self-collected cervical samples in a resource limited diagnostic setting. A previously reported polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) based HPV detection and genotyping protocol was verified using direct DNA sequencing to accurately identify the HPV 16 and 18 genotypes in a routine-diagnostic set-up. Then the HPV prevalence in a cohort of 433 clinically normal females was performed using PCR-RFLP diagnostic tool. Finally, the performance of the PCR-RFLP HPV screening tool was further evaluated against self-collected samples. HPV 16 and 18 genotyping with the PCR-RFLP consistently agreed with the sequencing data. The HPV prevalence in the screening cohort was 5.8%. HPV 16 and 18 were the most common high-risk HPV genotypes detected in the study cohort. Self-sampling vs physician collected samples from the same subject resulted in an overall concordance of 93% for HPV detection. The PCR-RFLP protocol can be used effectively under low resource settings for HPV 16/18 diagnosis and genotyping. The self-sampling approach can be recommended to increase HPV screening among women in Sri Lanka.

Abstract
The recent outbreak of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and the continuous evolution of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) have highlighted the significance of new detection methods for global monitoring and prevention. Although quantitative reverse transcription PCR (RT-qPCR), the current gold standard for diagnosis, performs excellently in genetic testing, its multiplexing capability is limited because of the signal crosstalk of various fluorophores. Herein, we present a highly efficient platform which combines 17-plex assays with matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS), enabling the targeting of 14 different mutation sites of the spike gene. Diagnosis using a set of 324 nasopharyngeal swab or sputum clinical samples with SARS-CoV-2 MS method was identical to that with the RT-qPCR. The detection consistency of mutation sites was 97.9% (47/48) compared to Sanger sequencing without cross-reaction with other respiratory-related pathogens. Therefore, the MS method is highly potent to track and assess SARS-CoV-2 changes in a timely manner, thereby aiding continuous response to viral variation and prevention of further transmission.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to construct a novel strategy for the detection of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) variants using multiplex PCR-mass spectrometry minisequencing technique (mPCR-MS minisequencing). Using the nucleic acid sequence of a SARS-CoV-2 nonvariant and a synthetic SARS-CoV-2 variant-carrying plasmid, a matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization–time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) method based on the single-base mass probe extension of multiplex PCR amplification products was established to detect 9 mutation types in 7 mutated sites (HV6970del, N501Y, K417N, P681H, D614G, E484K, L452R, E484Q, and P681R) in the receptor-binding domain of the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 variants. Twenty-one respiratory tract pathogens (9 bacteria and 12 respiratory viruses) and nucleic acid samples from non-COVID-19 patients were selected for specific validation. Twenty samples from COVID-19 patients were used to verify the accuracy of this method. The 9 mutation types could be detected simultaneously by triple PCR amplification coupled with MALDI-TOF MS. SARS-CoV-2 and six variants, B.1.1.7 (Alpha), B.1.351 (Beta), B.1.429 (Epsilon), B.1.526 (Iota), P.1 (Gamma) and B.1.617.2 (Delta), could be identified. The detection limit for all 9 sites was 1.5 × 103 copies. The specificity of this method was 100%, and the accuracy of real-time PCR cycle threshold (CT) values less than 27 among positive samples was 100%. This method is open and extensible, and can be used in a high-throughput manner, easily allowing the addition of new mutation sites as needed to identify and track new SARS-CoV-2 variants as they emerge. mPCR-MS minisequencing provides a new detection option with practical application value for SARS-CoV-2 and its variant infection. IMPORTANCE The emergence of SARS-CoV-2 variants is the key factor in the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. An all-in-one SARS-CoV-2 variant identification method based on a multiplex PCR-mass spectrometry minisequencing system was developed in this study. Six SARS-CoV-2 variants (Alpha, Beta, Epsilon, Iota, Gamma, and Delta) can be identified simultaneously. This method can not only achieve the multisite simultaneous detection that cannot be realized by PCR coupled with first-generation sequencing technology and quantitative PCR (qPCR) technology but also avoid the shortcomings of time-consuming, high-cost, and high technical requirements of whole-genome sequencing technology. As a simple screening assay for monitoring the emergence and spread of SARS-CoV-2 and variants, mPCR-MS minisequencing is expected to play an important role in the detection and monitoring of SARS-CoV-2 infection as a supplementary technology.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Complicated mechanisms and variable determinants related to drug resistance pose a major challenge to obtain comprehensive antimicrobial resistance (AMR) profiles of Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Meanwhile, cephalosporin-resistant mosaic penA alleles have been reported worldwide. Therefore, it is urgent to monitor the expansion of cephalosporin-resistant mosaic penA alleles. OBJECTIVES To develop a comprehensive high-throughput method to efficiently screen AMR determinants. METHODS We developed a method based on multiplex PCR with MALDI-TOF MS, which can simultaneously screen for 24 mutations associated with multiple antimicrobial agents in 19 gonococcal AMR loci (NG-AMR-MS). The performance of the NG-AMR-MS method was assessed by testing 454 N. gonorrhoeae isolates with known MICs of six antibiotics, eight non-gonococcal Neisseria strains, 214 clinical samples and three plasmids with a confirmed mosaic penA allele. RESULTS The results show that NG-AMR-MS had a specificity of 100% with a sensitivity as low as 10 copies per reaction (except for PorB A121D/N/G, 100 copies per reaction). For clinical samples with gonococcal load >5 copies/μL, the method can accurately identify 20 AMR mutations. In addition, the method successfully detected specific cephalosporin-resistant strains with the A311V mutation in the penA allele. CONCLUSIONS Our high-throughput method can provide comprehensive AMR profiles within a multiplex format. Furthermore, the method can be directly applied to screening for AMR among clinical samples, serving as an effective tool for overall monitoring of N. gonorrhoeae AMR and also provides a powerful means to comprehensively improve the level of monitoring.

Abstract
A human papillomavirus type plays an important role in the early diagnosis of cervical cancer. Most of the prediction methods use protein sequence and structure information, but the reduced amino acid modes have not been used until now. In this paper, we introduced the modes of reduced amino acids to predict high-risk HPV. We first reduced 20 amino acids into several nonoverlapping groups and calculated their structure and physicochemical modes for high-risk HPV prediction, which was tested and compared with the existing methods on 68 samples of known HPV types. The experiment result indicates that the proposed method achieved better performance with an accuracy of 96.49%, indicating that the reduced amino acid modes might be used to improve the prediction of high-risk HPV types.

Abstract
In this study, a multisite SNP genotyping and macrolide (ML) susceptibility gene test method for Mycoplasma pneumoniae (M. pneumoniae) was developed based on matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS). The detection limit of this method for nucleic acids was 102 -103 copies/reaction. Six SNP site-based genotyping and 3 ML susceptibility sites could be detected simultaneously based on multiplex PCR and mass probe. Using the method constructed in this study, 141 Chinese clinical isolates were divided into 8 SNP types. All the SNP test results for the ML susceptibility gene were in line with those of the 23S rRNA sequencing results. With this method, the multisite SNP genotyping and ML susceptibility determination of M. pneumoniae can be completed simultaneously in one test, which greatly reduces the workload and cost, improves the genotyping ability of M. pneumoniae and deserves clinical application. An all-in-one genotyping and macrolide resistance testing method for M. pneumoniae Multisite SNP detection technology was used for genotyping and resistance testing The cost of M. pneumoniae genotyping and macrolide resistance detection was reduced

Abstract
Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer in the world's woman population with a high incidence in developing countries where diagnostic conditions for the cancer are poor. The main culprit causing the cancer is the human papillomavirus (HPV). HPV is divided into three major groups, i.e., high-risk (HR) group, probable high-risk (pHR) group, and low-risk (LR) group according to their potential of causing cervical cancer. Therefore, developing a sensitive, reliable, and cost-effective point-of-care diagnostic method for the virus genotypes in developing countries even worldwide is of high importance for the cancer prevention and control strategies. Here we present a combined method of isothermal recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA), lateral flow dipstick (LFD), and reverse dot blot (RDB), in quick point-of-care identification of HPV genotypes. The combined method is highly specific to HPV when the conserved L1 genes are used as targeted genes for amplification. The method can be used in identification of HPV genotypes at point-of-care within 1 h with a sensitivity of low to 100 fg of the virus genomic DNA. We have demonstrated that it is an excellent diagnostic point-of-care assay in monitoring the disease without time-consuming and expensive procedures and devices.

Abstract
Purpose Sexually transmitted infections (STIs), representing a major global health problem, are caused by different microbes, including bacteria, viruses, and protozoa. Unfortunately, infections of different sexually transmitted pathogens often present similar clinical symptoms, so it is almost impossible to distinguish them clinically. Therefore, the aim of the current study was to develop a sensitive, multitarget, and high-throughput method that can detect various agents responsible for STIs. Methods We developed and tested a 23-plex PCR coupled with matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry (MS) assay (sexually transmitted infection-mass spectrometry, STI-MS) that simultaneously targets 11 different agents, including 8 most common clinical pathogens related to STIs (HSV-1, HSV-2, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Chlamydia trachomatis, Treponema pallidum, Trichomonas vaginalis, Mycoplasma genitalium, and Haemophilus ducreyi) and 3 controversial microorganisms as pathogens (Mycoplasma hominis, Ureaplasma urealyticum, and Ureaplasma parvum). Results The results showed that the STI-MS approach can accurately detect the expected agents, without cross-reaction with other organisms. The limit of detection of each STI-MS assay was ranged from 1.739 to 10.009 copies/reaction, using probit analyses. The verification rate for each target organism of the STI-MS ranged from a minimum of 89.3% to a maximum of 100%, using conventional assays and ultrasensitive digital PCR to confirm the STI-MS-positive results. To further evaluate the clinical performance of this assay, 241 clinical specimens (124 urethral/cervical swabs and 117 urine) were tested in parallel using the STI-MS assay and monoplex real-time PCR for each agent. The overall validation parameters of STI-MS were extremely high including sensitivity (from 85.7% to 100%), specificity (from 92.3% to 100%), PPV (from 50% to 100%), and NPV (from 99.1% to 100%) for each target. Conclusion STI-MS is a useful high-throughput screening tool for detecting mixed infections of STIs and has great potential for application in large-scale epidemiological programs for specific microorganisms of STI.

Abstract
Rapid screening of infectious viral diseases is the key to ensure healthy development of duck livestock industry. Currently routine viral detection methods are primarily used to detect up to 3 viruses. In this study, matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) was used for simultaneous detection and genotyping of ten viruses in duck, including Duck hepatitis A virus 1 (DHAV-1), DHAV-3, Duck astrovirus 1 (DAstV-1), DAstV-2, Duck reovirus 1 (DRV-1), DRV-2, Tembusu virus (TMUV), Avian influenza virus (AIV), Goose parvovirus (GPV) and Duck enteritis virus (DEV). The low detection limits of this proposed method for ten duck viruses ranged from 1.3 copies/μl to 7.8 copies/μl. The novel detection method with high sensitivity, good specificity and high throughput has the potential to be applied for disease diagnosis and surveillance.

Abstract
Pneumonia and meningitis continue to present an enormous public health burden and pose a major threat to young children. Among the causative organisms of pneumonia and meningitis, bacteria are the most common causes of serious disease and deaths. It is challenging to accurately and rapidly identify these agents. To solve this problem, we developed and validated a 12-plex PCR coupled with matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) method (bacterial pathogen-mass spectrometry, BP-MS) that can be used to simultaneously screen for 11 key bacterial pathogens related to pneumonia and meningitis. Forty-six nasopharyngeal swabs and 12 isolates were used to determine the specificity of the method. The results showed that, using the BP-MS method, we could accurately identify the expected bacteria without cross-reactivity with other pathogens. For the 11 target bacterial pathogens, the analytical sensitivity of the BP-MS method was as low as 10 copies/reaction. To further evaluate the clinical effectiveness of this method, 204 nasopharyngeal swabs from hospitalized children with suspected pneumonia were tested using this method. In total, 81.9% (167/204) of the samples were positive for at least one of the 11 target pathogens. Among the 167 bacteria-positive samples, the rate of multiple infections was 55.7% (93/167), and the most frequent combination was Streptococcus pneumoniae with Haemophilus influenzae, representing 46.2% (43/93) two-pathogen mixed infections. We used real-time PCR and nested PCR to confirm positive results, with identical results obtained for 81.4% (136/167) of the samples. The BP-MS method is a sensitive and specific molecular detection technique in a multiplex format and with high sample throughput. Therefore, it will be a powerful tool for pathogen screening and antibiotic selection at an early stage of disease.

Abstract
There are four human coronaviruses (HCoVs), distributed worldwide, that are associated with a range of respiratory symptoms. The discovery of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS)-CoV and Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS)-CoV shows that HCoVs pose a significant threat to human health. Our work aims to develop a sensitive method (mCoV-MS) which can not only identify known HCoVs accurately, but also have the ability to provide clues for the emerging HCoVs. The method was performed using a MassARRAY matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) system. We developed a 17-plex analysis to detect six HCoVs in Panel A and another 17-plex analysis to detect Alphacoronavirus and Betacoronavirus in Panel B. All tested primers and probes for the mCoV-MS method were effective, with no cross-reactivity observed with other common respiratory viruses. To confirm the usefulness of the mCoV-MS method we screened 384 pharyngeal and/or anal swab samples collected from bats/rodents, and 131 nasal and throat swabs from human patients. The results showed good concordance with the results of metagenomic analysis or PCR-sequencing. The validation test showed mCoV-MS method can detect potentially pathogenic CoVs in Alphacoronavirus and Betacoronavirus and provide convincingly phylogenetic evidences about unknown CoVs. The mCoV-MS method is a sensitive assay that is relatively simple to carry out. We propose that this method be used to complement next generation sequencing technology for large-scale screening studies.

Abstract
Persistent human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV16) is the major risk factor for cervical cancer. HPV16 intratypic variants differ in their geographical distribution and oncogenic potential. This study aimed to analyze the distribution of HPV16 variants and their association with cervical lesion histopathology in Korean women. In total, 133 HPV16-positive cervical samples from women admitted to Seoul National University Boramae Hospital were analyzed by sequencing E6, E7, and L1 genes and the long control region (LCR), and the variant distribution according to cervical lesion grade was determined. Isolates were grouped into a phylogenetic lineage, and A1-3, A4, C, and D sublineages were detected in 54.1, 37.8, 0.7, and 7.4% of samples, respectively. The most commonly observed LCR variations were 7521G>A (91.5%), 7730A>C (59.6%), and 7842G>A (59.6%). Furthermore, A4 or D sublineage-positive women had a higher risk for cervical cancer than women who were positive for A1-3. Among HPV phylogenetic clusters, A1-3 was the predominant sublineage, and within A1-3, the 350G polymorphism was highly frequent. These results differed from those of previous studies in Korea and other Asian countries. The findings suggest that cervical neoplasia incidence in HPV16-infected patients could be affected by the distribution of HPV16 variants in the population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Many studies have suggested a relationship between human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and the risk of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). However, findings are inconclusive, potentially because of geographic heterogeneity and variations in detection methods. OBJECTIVES We sought to further investigate the prevalence of HPV with a new detection method, the MassARRAY Sequenom technique, in esophageal squamous cell carcinomas occurring in patients belonging to Kazakh populations in Xinjiang, China. STUDY DESIGN In the present study, a novel genotyping method for detecting 30 HPV genotypes, specifically by genotyping both the HPV E6 and L1 genes with multiplex PCR using matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) (PCR-MS) was first adopted to evaluate HPV genotypes in 89 esophageal cancer samples and 49 matched adjacent normal esophageal tissues. RESULTS Six HPV genotypes (HPV6, HPV16, HPV33, HPV39, HPV51, and HPV82) were present in at least 51.7% of the esophageal carcinoma tissues, which was significantly greater than 28.6% prevalence among controls (P < 0.05). HPV16 was the most common of all the genotypes investigated (HPV16 prevalence in carcinoma tissue: 49.4%; odds ratio 3.02, 95% confidence interval 1.39-6.53). HPV-positive ESCC patients were generally younger than HPV-negative patients (P = 0.04). In addition, HPV infection was more common in cases of well-differentiated and shallower invasive depth. CONCLUSIONS Based on this new detection method, our findings reiterate the possibility that HPV infection (especially HPV16) may be involved in the etiology of esophageal carcinoma in the Kazakh populations and that HPV E6 gene positivity may be associated with prognosis of patients.

Abstract
We aimed to explore the frequency of all 13 human polyomaviruses (HPyVs), especially MW polyomavirus (MWPyV) and STL polyomavirus (STLPyV), in tonsillar tissues from Chinese children with chronic tonsillar disease. We examined 99 swabs from mucosal surfaces of palatine tonsils, in which six HPyVs were detected. MWPyV and STLPyV were each detected in two samples. This provides new evidence for the hypothesis that the lymphoid system may play a role in HPyV infection and persistence. We need to define their role in tonsillar disease in the future.

Abstract
Respiratory infections continue to pose a significant threat to human health. It is important to accurately and rapidly detect respiratory viruses. To compensate for the limits of current respiratory virus detection methods, we developed a 24-plex analysis (common respiratory virus-mass spectrometry [CRV-MS]) that can simultaneously detect and identify 21 common respiratory viruses based on a matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry system. To evaluate the efficacy of the CRV-MS method, we used 102 samples that were confirmed positive for these common respiratory viruses. All tests using the CRV-MS method were effective, with no cross-reactivity observed with other common respiratory viruses. To confirm the usefulness of the CRV-MS method, we screened 336 nasal and throat swabs that were collected from adults or children with suspected viral acute respiratory tract infections using the CRV-MS method and consensus PCR/reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR) methods. Excluding four RNase P-negative samples, the CRV-MS and consensus PCR/RT-PCR methods detected respiratory viruses in 92.5% (307/332) and 89.5% (297/332) of the samples, respectively. The two methods yielded identical results for 306 (92.2%) samples, including negative results for 25 samples (7.5%) and positive results for 281 samples (84.6%). Differences between the two methods may reflect their different sensitivities. The CRV-MS method proved to be sensitive and robust, and it can be used in large-scale epidemiological studies of common respiratory virus infections.

Abstract
Discrimination of high-risk types of human papillomaviruses plays an important role in the diagnosis and remedy of cervical cancer. Recently, several computational methods have been proposed based on protein sequence-based and structure-based information, but the information of their related proteins has not been used until now. In this paper, we proposed using protein “sequence space” to explore this information and used it to predict high-risk types of HPVs. The proposed method was tested on 68 samples with known HPV types and 4 samples without HPV types and further compared with the available approaches. The results show that the proposed method achieved the best performance among all the evaluated methods with accuracy 95.59% and F1-score 90.91%, which indicates that protein “sequence space” could potentially be used to improve prediction of high-risk types of HPVs.

Abstract
DNA extracted from formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues has been used in the past to analyze genetic polymorphisms. We evaluated the technical reproducibility of different types of assays for gene polymorphisms using DNA extracted from FFPE material. By using the MassARRAY iPLEX system, we investigated polymorphisms in DPYD (rs1801159 and rs3918290), UMPS (rs1801019), ERCC1 (rs11615), ERCC1 (rs3212986), and ERCC2 (rs13181) in 56 FFPE DNA samples. By using PCR, followed by size-based gel electrophoresis, we also examined TYMS 5' untranslated region 2R/3R repeats and GSTT1 deletions in 50 FFPE DNA samples and 34 DNAs extracted from fresh-frozen tissues and cell lines. Each polymorphism was analyzed by two independent runs. We found that iPLEX biomarker assays measuring single-nucleotide polymorphisms provided consistent concordant results. However, by using FFPE DNA, size-based PCR biomarkers (GSTT1 and TYMS 5' untranslated region) were discrepant in 32.7% (16/49, with exact 95% CI, 19.9%-47.5%; exact binomial confidence limit test) and 4.2% (2/48, with exact 95% CI, 0.5%-14.3%) of cases, respectively, whereas no discrepancies were observed using intact genomic DNA. Our findings suggest that DNA from FFPE material can be used to reliably test single-nucleotide polymorphisms. However, results based on size-based PCR biomarkers, and particularly GSTT1 deletions, using FFPE DNA need to be interpreted with caution. Independent repeated assays should be performed on all cases to assess potential discrepancies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Over the past 7 years, eleven novel human polyomaviruses (HPyVs) have been identified. The frequent discovery of human polyomaviruses (HPyVs) in the gastrointestinal tract and stool samples suggests a potential involvement in gastroenteritis. OBJECTIVE In this study we want to explore the prevalence of STL polyomavirus (STLPyV) in China and delineate the clinical role played by STLPyV. STUDY DESIGN Stool samples from 508 hospitalized children with diarrhea and 271 healthy children were screened to detect STLPyV. Human polyomavirus 12(HPyV12), New Jersey polyomavirus (NJPyV-2013) and six common enteric viruses (including rotaviruses, adenovirus, norovirus GI and GII, astrovirus and sapovirus) were also screened in this study. RESULTS 348 of the 508 (68.5%) specimens from the hospitalized children with diarrhea contained at least 1 common enteric virus. STLPyV was identified in 11 specimens in the case group (2.2%), among which 4 specimens were negative for those common enteric viruses. STLPyV was not more prevalent among the case group than the control group (2.2% versus 3.0%; p = 0.50, χ(2) test). In case group, when common enteric viruses' positive and negative groups were compared, the difference in detection rate of STLPyV was not statistically significant (2.5% versus 2.0%; p = 0.98, χ(2) test). Two whole genome sequences of STLPyV were obtained. CONCLUSIONS We are the first to report the prevalence of STLPyV in Chinese children and obtained whole genome sequences of STLPyV strains isolated in China. Our results of phylogenetic analysis support the hypothesis that STLPyV is geographically widespread.

Abstract
BACKGROUND While many studies have suggested a possible link between breast cancer pathogenesis and infection by viruses, the role of viruses in breast carcinogenesis remains controversial. OBJECTIVES We analyzed the prevalence of 30 oncogenic human papillomaviruses (HPVs), Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), Kaposi's sarcoma herpes virus (KSHV) and six polyomaviruses in breast tumor specimens. STUDY DESIGN We analyzed breast specimens from 100 breast cancer patients (group 1) and 50 benign breast disease patients (group 2) from Shaanxi Province in China. We also screened for the viruses in blood samples from the patients and 96 female blood donor volunteers (group 3). RESULTS EBV, Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV) and HPV-18 were detected in 60, 14 and 2 breast cancer patients, respectively, and EBV and MCPyV were detected in 16 and 1 benign breast disease patients, respectively. EBV and MCPyV were more prevalent in group 1 than in group 2 (EBV: 60.0% vs. 32.0%, p = 0.0012; MCPyV: 14.0% vs. 2.0%; p = 0.02). In contrast, there was no difference in the prevalence of EBV and MCPyV in blood samples between group 1 and group 2, group 1 and group 3. EBV was detected in malignant breast tissue and its presence was confined to the malignant cells using in situ hybridization. CONCLUSIONS We found that EBV and MCPyV were more prevalent in the tumors of women with breast cancer than in samples from women with benign breast disease. Our results support an etiologic role for EBV in breast cancer pathogenesis in Chinese patients.
