| Abstract | Objectives: During the COVID-19 pandemic, the risk of childhood infectious diseases was increased. Post-COVID-19 escalation of chickenpox cases, becoming an emerging public health concern. Thus, the study was designed to compare chickenpox prevalence and Varicella zoster virus (VZV) genotypes circulating before, during, and post-COVID-19 in Pakistan. Methods: A total of 267 lesion specimens collected from tertiary care hospitals, and chickenpox outbreaks from Pakistan were analysed by a two-amplicon approach with phylogenetic analysis. Results: Among suspected cases, overall 178/267 were VZV positive. Majority (84.2 %; 150/178) cases were of post-COVID-19 pandemic time. Small outbreaks occurred soon after COVID-19 in Rawalpindi and Islamabad (Pakistan), 40 positive cases out of 178 cases were outbreak cases. There was first time detection of the M4 genotype, which was significantly associated with disease severity (p = 0.0006) and post-COVID-19 chickenpox outbreaks in 2021 (77.9 %; 46/59; p < 0.00001). However, in pre-COVID-19 only M2 genotype was detected. The M2 prevalence varied from 2019 (100 %; 19/19) to 2022 (3.2 %; 3/91). However, the most prevalent strain of 2022 belonged to the M1 genotype (64.8 %; 59/91). Conclusion: A significant rise in chickenpox cases detected soon after COVID-19 in Pakistan, and oscillation of different VZV genotypes with first time detection of M4 genotype is an alarming situation. This demands further detailed genotypic studies on transmission dynamics of a rare M4 with other genotypes to protect the local population and restrict spread in other regions. |

| Abstract | Acute gastroenteritis is one of the most common diseases in infants and children in developing countries including Pakistan. In Pakistan, rotavirus (RVA) is known to contribute significantly to pediatric diarrheal illness, but the contribution of other viruses is still unclear. In the current study we have identified a case of mixed infection of norovirus (NoV) and sapovirus (SaV) in a 2-year-old child with acute gastroenteritis. The sample was initially processed for the detection of group A RVA through ELISA followed by NoV using RT-PCR assay. The sample tested positive for NoV RNA and was later subjected to whole-genome sequencing using meta-genome approach on Miseq (Illumina) platform. Sequencing results revealed GII.15 genotype of NoV that clustered with viruses from China and USA from 2017 to 2021. We also retrieved the complete genome of SaV (GI.1 genotype) from the same sample and phylogenetic analysis showed clustering with strains reported from Japan, South Korea, US, and Taiwan during 2012-2016. This is the first report from Pakistan that confirms coinfection of NoV and SaV and elucidates their whole genomes. We recommend initiation of NoV and SaV surveillance program to ascertain disease burden and explore genetic diversity, especially as RVA vaccines have been included in national immunization program. |

| Abstract | Background: Measles has been a significant public health concern in Pakistan, especially in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK) province, where sporadic and silent epidemics continue to challenge existing control measures. This study aimed to estimate the prevalence and investigate the molecular epidemiology of the measles virus (MeV) in KPK and explore the vaccination status among the suspected individuals. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted between February and October 2021. A total of 336 suspected measles cases from the study population were analyzed for IgM antibodies using Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA). Throat swabs were randomly collected from a subset of positive cases for molecular analysis. Phylogenetic analysis of MeV isolates was performed using the neighbor-joining method. The vaccination status of individuals was also recorded. Results: Among the suspected participants, 61.0% (205/336) were ELISA positive for IgM antibodies, with a higher prevalence in males (64.17%) compared to females (57.04%). The majority of cases (36.0%) were observed in infants and toddlers, consistent with previous reports. The majority of IgM-positive cases (71.7%) had not received any dose of measles vaccine, highlighting gaps in vaccine coverage and the need for improved immunization programs. Genetic analysis revealed that all MeV isolates belonged to the B3 genotype, with minor genetic variations from previously reported variants in the region. Conclusion: This study provides valuable insights into the genetic epidemiology of the MeV in KPK, Pakistan. The high incidence of measles infection among unvaccinated individuals highlights the urgency of raising awareness about vaccine importance and strengthening routine immunization programs. |
