  1. Maternofetal transmission of human parvovirus B19 genotype 3 in Ghana, West Africa D Candotti, K Danso, A Parsyan, A Dompreh, J-P Allain National Blood Service, England Div.

  2. B19 infection in Ghana • 82% seroprevalence in adults • B19 DNA prevalence: - 1.3% in blood donors - 11.5% in children (average age: 23 months) • 0.9% persistent infections: - IgG only - low viral load ( 102- 105 IU/ml) • Endemic region for B19 genotype 3

  3. Phylogenetic tree of full length human parvovirus B19 genomes Genotype 2 100 Genotype 1 100 100 3A 100 V9 100 D91.1 Genotype 3 3B 0.005 substitutions/site

  4. Study design Pregnant women plasmas (n=885) Anti-VP2 IgG B19 DNA screening Multiplex QPCR assay Single QPCR & nested PCR confirmation Cord blood plasmas Newborn whole blood Sequencing Genotyping Specific QPCR & nested PCR

  5. Serological and viral markers in pregnant women Anti-VP2 IgG reactive 144/177 (81%) Confirmed DNA pos. 16/885 (1.8%) DNA load (IU/ml) Median Range 1.3E+03 46 - 3.6E+06 IgM reactive IgG reactive 3/16 16/16

  7. Conclusions • B19 genotype 3 is dominant in Ghana and is characterised by high genetic variability • 2/3 cases of primary maternal B19 infection resulted in vertical transmission • No evidence that maternal persistent B19 is vertically infectious
