Etiological Role and Repeated Infections of Sapovirus among Children Aged Less than 2 Years in a Cohort Study in a Peri-urban Community of Peru
ABSTRACT
Human sapovirus has been shown to be one of the most important etiologies in pediatric patients with acute diarrhea. However, very limited data are available about the causative roles and epidemiology of sapovirus in community settings. A nested matched case-control study within a birth cohort study of acute diarrhea in a peri-urban community in Peru from 2007 to 2010 was conducted to investigate the attributable fraction (AF) and genetic diversity of sapovirus. By quantitative reverse transcription–real-time PCR (qPCR) sapovirus was detected in 12.4% (37/299) of diarrheal and 5.7% (17/300) of nondiarrheal stools (P = 0.004). The sapovirus AF (7.1%) was higher in the second year (13.2%) than in the first year (1.4%) of life of children. Ten known genotypes and one novel cluster (n = 5) within four genogroups (GI, GII, GIV, and GV) were identified by phylogenetic analysis of a partial VP1 gene. Further sequence analysis of the full VP1 gene revealed a possible novel genotype, tentatively named GII.8. Notably, symptomatic reinfections with different genotypes within the same (n = 3) or different (n = 5) genogroups were observed in eight children. Sapovirus exhibited a high attributable burden for acute gastroenteritis, especially in the second year of life, of children in a Peruvian community. Further large-scale studies are needed to understand better the global burden, genetic diversity, and repeated infections of sapovirus.
INTRODUCTION
Acute diarrhea is one of the most important causes of morbidity and mortality in pediatric populations, especially in developing countries. Rotavirus, norovirus, and other viruses are common causative etiological agents, and rotavirus accounts for about 440,000 child deaths annually (1), while norovirus is a leading cause of epidemic and sporadic acute diarrhea (2). Currently a rotavirus vaccination program has been implemented in 80 countries as a part of national immunization programs (http://sites.path.org/rotavirusvaccine/rotavirus-vaccines/#global-intro). It successfully reduced the number of hospitalizations and deaths due to acute gastroenteritis (3, 4) and is cost-effective (5). Norovirus has now replaced rotavirus as the leading cause of medically attended acute diarrhea in pediatric populations (6, 7), and sapovirus, belonging to a separate genus of the Caliciviridae family, has been reported as the second most commonly detected virus after norovirus in children with acute diarrhea where rotavirus vaccination was implemented (8, 9). In addition, reports on sapovirus outbreaks across all age groups have increased in South Asia, Europe, and North America recently (10–14).
The genome of sapovirus consists of a positive-sense, single-stranded RNA with two open reading frames (ORFs) (12). ORF1 encodes the nonstructural proteins and a major capsid protein, VP1, and ORF2 encodes a protein whose function is still unknown (12). Like for norovirus, multiple genetic clusters of human sapovirus have been reported, including four genogroups (GI, GII, GIV, and GV) with 17 genotypes (GI.1 to GI.7, GII.1 to GII.7, GIV.1, and GV.1 and GV.2) (12). Mild acute diarrhea and severe and even fatal sapovirus infections have been documented (15, 16). Viral shedding lasts about 2 weeks after onset of symptoms (17, 18). Serological studies have identified that sapovirus infections are very common during early childhood; however, epidemiology and protective immunity in community settings have rarely been investigated. Sapovirus was identified as a significant viral etiological agent in children in limited etiological studies of acute diarrhea, which targeted multiple pathogens (19–21). To understand the etiological role and genetic diversity of sapovirus in acute diarrhea, we conducted a nested matched case-control study by analyzing selected samples from a birth cohort study of acute diarrhea in a Peruvian peri-urban community conducted between June 2007 and May 2010 (22).
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Stool sample selection.
Stool samples collected during or 1 day after diarrhea episodes (n = 862) were considered diarrheal samples in this study. We stratified the samples previously tested for norovirus (22) by eight age groups (0 to 2, 3 to 5, 6 to 8, 9 to 11, 12 to 14, 15 to 17, 18 to 20, and 21 to 23 months) and four seasons (December to February, March to May, June to August, and September to November). We assumed that sapovirus should be detected in at least 5% of diarrheal episodes in children under 2 years, based on detection rates of 5.4 to 16.6% by quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) reported in two population-based studies (9, 21). To ensure that at least 1 positive sample was detected in each age group, at least 20 samples were tested per group. Finally, 300 diarrheal stools (26 to 44 stools per age group) representing 34.2% of 862 episodes were randomly selected by using Stata 13 (StataCorp, College Station, TX, USA). One nondiarrheal control specimen per diarrheal stool was selected at random, matched by age group and season using Stata 13. Nondiarrheal stools were defined as stools which were not collected within the diarrhea episode, within a week before the first day of diarrhea episodes, or within 2 weeks after the last day of diarrhea episodes, based on the sapovirus incubation period (12) and duration of virus shedding (17, 18). Both diarrheal and nondiarrheal samples were selected from the samples previously tested for norovirus and were included regardless of norovirus test results. Among 600 randomly selected samples, three samples (all negative for norovirus) were not available in the specimen bank, and two of them were replaced with other samples in the same age-season category; therefore, 599 samples were included in the analysis.
Quantitative reverse transcription–real-time PCR (qPCR) for sapovirus.
Viral nucleic acid was extracted from 140 μl of a 10% stool suspension using QIAamp viral RNA minikits (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany). cDNA was synthesized by using Moloney murine leukemia virus (M-MLV) reverse transcriptase kits with random primers (Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA, USA). qPCR targeting the polymerase-VP1 junction of sapovirus was performed on an ABI 7500 Fast real-time PCR system (Life Technologies), using previously described primers and probes (23). The detection limit of qPCR, which was determined by standard curves generated with 10-fold serial dilutions (107 to 10 copies/μl) of sapovirus GII.1 standard plasmid, was 100 copies/μl of cDNA, corresponding to a cycle threshold (CT) value of 38 at an amplification of total 45 cycles. A sample with a CT value of <38 was considered to be positive for sapovirus, and three positive controls and one negative control were included in each assay.
Genotyping and sequence analysis.
Sapovirus-positive samples were further amplified by hemi-nested PCR targeting a partial VP1 gene (720 nucleotides [nt]; corresponding to nt 5159 to 5878 of strain Manchester [accession number X86560]) with the external primers SV F13/F14 (24) and SaV 5857R-1/-2 and internal primers SaV F1245 (23) and SaV 5857R-1/-2 (see Table S1 in the supplemental material). Cycling conditions for the first and second rounds of hemi-nested PCR were 94°C for 5 min, 35 cycles of 94°C for 30 s, 50°C for 30 s, and 72°C for 1 min, and 1 cycle of 72°C for 10 min. For the possible new genotype of sapovirus, the full VP1 gene was amplified with primer pair SV F13/F14 and SaV GIIR under same cycling conditions as for hemi-nested PCR. PCR products were sequenced using BigDye Terminator chemistries V1.1 (Life Technologies) in a 3730 genetic analyzer (Life Technologies). The resulting sequences were BLAST verified. Genogroups and genotypes were characterized by phylogenetic analysis of a partial VP1 gene (606 nt; corresponding to nt 5236 to 5841 of strain Manchester [accession no. X86560]) (12) using the maximum-likelihood method (Kimura 2-parameter model) in MEGA5 (25). In addition, pairwise distances were calculated using the Kimura 2-parameter method in MEGA5, and the cutoff values to designate the same sapovirus genotypes and genogroups were ≤0.169 and ≤0.488, respectively (12, 26).
Statistical analysis.
The unadjusted attributable fraction (AF) for estimating the sapovirus burden of diarrhea was calculated by using the formula (27) AF = Pr(sapovirus/diarrhea)[1 − (1/OR)], where Pr(sapovirus/diarrhea) is the proportion of sapovirus in diarrhea stools and OR is the odds ratio of sapovirus for diarrhea and nondiarrhea. The median CT values for diarrheal and nondiarrheal stools were compared by using the Mann-Whitney U test with Stata 13 (StataCorp).

RESULTS
Three hundred nondiarrheal and 299 diarrheal stools (one diarrheal stool in the age group 18 to 20 months was not available) were tested for sapovirus. Sapovirus was detected in 9.0% (54/599) of stools, with 12.4% (37/299) in diarrheal stools and 5.7% (17/300) in nondiarrheal stools (P = 0.004) (Fig. 1). In qPCR, the median CT values were significantly lower in diarrheal than in nondiarrheal samples (24 versus 29; P = 0.024). Among the 37 sapovirus-associated episodes, the median duration of diarrhea was 3 days (interquartile range [IQR], 2 to 5 days). The median maximum daily number of diarrheal stools was four (IQR, 3.5 to 5.5). Fifteen episodes (40.5%) had vomiting, and only four episodes (10.8%) had fever. Rates of detection of sapovirus in diarrheal stools were higher in children aged 12 to 23 months (18.6%; 27/145) than in children aged <12 months (6.5%; 10/154) (P = 0.002), and those in nondiarrheal stools were similar in the two age groups (5.2% versus 6.2%). The sapovirus AF (7.1%) was higher in the second (13.2%) than in the first (1.4%) year of life. Sapovirus was not detected in diarrheal stools of children aged 0 to 5 months (Fig. 1), although only 68 diarrheal samples from 194 episodes were tested for this age group. Sapovirus was detected together with norovirus in four diarrheal stools in the age group of 12 to 23 months.
FIG 1
Of 54 qPCR-positive specimens, 45 specimens (83.3%) from 2007 to 2010 were successfully sequenced. Genogroup I (n = 21) and genogroup II (n = 16) were detected more frequently than genogroup IV (n = 3) and genogroup V (n = 5). Among these genogroups, 10 known genotypes (GI.1, GI.2, GI.6, GI.7, GII.1, GII.2 GII.4, GII.5, GIV, and GV.1) were identified (Fig. 2). Most genotypes were detected in both diarrheal and nondiarrheal stools except for two genotypes (GII.5 and GIV), which were found only in one and three diarrheal stools, respectively. Interestingly, five Peruvian sequences together with strains detected in the United States (HM59058) and Taiwan (KM092511) fell into a distinct cluster in GII with less than 78% similarity with other genotypes of GII based on the partial VP1 gene. We further sequenced the full VP1 gene of one diarrhea strain in this cluster and found that this Peruvian VP1 together with another full VP1 from Taiwan (KM092511) also formed a cluster distinct from other GII genotypes in the phylogenetic tree of nucleotide sequences (see Fig. S1 in the supplemental material) and amino acid sequences (Fig. 3). Moreover, the pairwise nucleotide distance of Peruvian VP1 from other GII.1 to GII.7 genotypes (0.298 to 0.468) was larger than 0.169. Therefore, this cluster could be tentatively classified as a novel genotype, and the tentative genotype GII.8 is proposed.
FIG 2
FIG 3
Eight children had two sapovirus infections detected within short time (with the interval of two infections ranging from 20 days to 19 months) (Table 1). Five of these children had repeated infections with a virus belonging to a different sapovirus genogroup, and three children had repeated infections with a different genotype of the same genogroup. All first and second infections of the eight children were symptomatic, except in one child where the first infection with GII.1 was asymptomatic and the second with GII.2 was symptomatic. None of the repeated infections of sapovirus had concurrent norovirus infection. The median CT values of both the first (21; IQR, 17.5 to 25.5) and second (21; IQR, 15.8 to 27.6) infections were relatively low, suggesting that both infections had relatively large viral loads. In addition, one child was considered to have shed sapovirus at 25 days after the onset of diarrhea, since one diarrheal sample (Peru-406-D; CT = 24.2) and one nondiarrheal sample (Peru-426-ND; CT = 33.5) collected from the same child were found to contain the same GII.4 strain (Fig. 2).

DISCUSSION
We determined the positive rate and genotype distribution of sapovirus in a birth cohort study in Peru. Sapovirus had a considerable attributable burden of 7.1% for acute diarrhea in children under 2 years old in this community. In sapovirus-infected children less than 2 years old, vomiting was frequently reported, while fever was rarely reported. The median duration of sapovirus diarrhea observed in this study was similar to the previously reported duration of 3 to 5 days (8, 17). Compared to other etiological studies of sapovirus, the overall rate of detection of sapovirus in symptomatic children (12.4%) in this study was similar to those in the United Kingdom (11.1%) (19) and Nicaragua (16.6%) (9) but higher than those in the Netherlands (7.8%) (20) and the United States (5.4%) (21). The rate of detection of sapovirus in asymptomatic children observed in this study (5.7%) was similar to that in the United States (4.2%) (21) but higher than those in the Netherlands (1.8%) (20), the United Kingdom (2.4%) (19), and Nicaragua (1.9%) (9). Our results are comparable to recent reports from other continents, in which sapovirus was commonly detected in pediatric gastroenteritis (8, 28–31). Possible reasons of increased rates of detection of sapovirus include the emerging genotypes (10, 29, 31), the implementation of rotavirus vaccination (9), and application of more sensitive molecular diagnostic assays (32, 33). Limited data on sapovirus in South America are available (34), and more studies are needed to confirm clinical and public health significance of sapovirus in this region.
Our study found that sapovirus is more likely to be associated with acute diarrhea in the second year of life in children, as described for norovirus in the same cohort (22). This finding was supported by several recent reports, in which sapovirus was detected more commonly in symptomatic children aged 12 to 23 months than in those aged <1 year (9, 21, 35, 36). Lower detection rates of sapovirus in children aged <1 year possibly reflect a protective effect of breastfeeding and/or transferred maternal antibodies (22, 37), as supported by the fact that we did not detect sapovirus in symptomatic children under 6 months.
In this study, 10 known genotypes and one novel cluster were detected, and none of them appeared to be predominant, which differed from norovirus GII.4, having been predominant in the same cohort (22) or worldwide (38) the for past 2 decades. The emerging genotypes GI.2 and GIV, which caused outbreaks in various countries recently (10, 11, 14, 15), were detected, but not as dominant genotypes, in this Peruvian community. Some uncommon genotypes of sapovirus, such as GI.6, GI.7, GII.4, and GII.5, were observed. Five strains detected from 2008 to 2009 formed a distinct cluster and appear to belong to a novel genotype. BLAST searches from GenBank showed similar sequences deposited from South Africa (2010 and 2013), the United States (2010), China (2011), and Taiwan (2014). It is noteworthy that the strains in the United States and Taiwan were associated with outbreaks of diarrhea, suggesting their wide distribution and pathogenicity. Currently, two complete VP1 sequences for this possible novel genotype are available from two countries (Peru and Taiwan), and it is tentatively proposed as GII.8, following both phylogenetic analysis of amino acid sequence (39) and pairwise distance classification proposed by Oka et al. (12).
The cohort study design allowed us to identify repeated sapovirus infections in same child. Five children had symptomatic reinfections with different genogroups, and a similar observation was reported in two patients in Japan (40). Also, the occurrence of natural reinfections in pigs by different porcine sapovirus genogroups has been recently reported (41). In addition, we found that three children experienced a second diarrheal episode caused by a different sapovirus genotype in a period of less than 1 month to 19 months. In the same cohort, children were found to commonly experience multiple diarrheal episodes with different norovirus GII genotypes, and therefore it was speculated that children can develop genotype-specific immunity of norovirus with only a modest level of cross-protection even within the same genogroup (22). In contrast, very little information is available about protective immunity against sapovirus infection. Sera collected from naturally infected humans or immunized animals with recombinant VP1 protein of sapovirus were shown to be moderately cross-reactive against the heterologous genotypes and weakly cross-reactive with heterologous genogroups of sapovirus (42–44). Large-scale studies are needed to investigate whether protective immunity for sapovirus is genotype specific or not, since the number of children with reinfections in this study was small due to a limited sample size.
One of the limitations of this study was that samples were not tested for enteric pathogens other than norovirus; therefore, coinfections of sapovirus with other pathogens was not analyzed. The attribution of sapovirus in acute diarrhea should be validated in future studies including other major enteric pathogens. Also, a small proportion of symptomatic cases may shed sapovirus longer than 2 weeks after onset of illness, as seen in the current study and other studies (17, 18); therefore, the prevalence of sapovirus in asymptomatic children in this study could be slightly overestimated, and the viral shedding pattern needs to be furthered explored.
In conclusion, recent epidemiological reports have highlighted the importance of sapovirus in acute diarrhea, especially after rotavirus vaccine implementation, but the etiological role and epidemiology of sapovirus remain to be clarified. We found that sapovirus exhibited a high attributable burden of acute diarrhea, especially in the second year of life, in a peri-urban community in Peru. Cocirculation of multiple genotypes with a possible novel genotype and symptomatic reinfection with different genotypes within the same or different genogroups were observed. Further large-scale studies are needed to define the global burden, incidence, and protective immunity of sapovirus infection.
