Molecular Evolution of Human Parainfluenza Virus Type 2 Based on Hemagglutinin-Neuraminidase Gene.

ABSTRACT: To understand the molecular evolution of human parainfluenza virus type 2 (HPIV2), 21 Hemagglutinin-Neuraminidase (HN) gene sequences covering seven Chinese provinces in 2011 and 2017 to 2021 were combined with 90 published HN sequences worldwide for phylogenetic analysis. The result showed that global HPIV2 could be classified into two distinct clusters (I and II), five lineages (IA to IIE), and four sublineages (IB1 and 2, and IIE1 and 2). The minimum genetic distances between different clusters and lineages were 0.049 and 0.014, respectively. In the last decade, one lineage (IID) and three sublineages (IB1, IB2, and IIE1) have been cocirculating in China, with the sublineages IB2 and IIE1 dominating, while sublineages IB1 and IIE1 are dominant globally. In addition, the spread of HPIV2
