The application of molecular genetic analysis and genomic profiling of infectious diseases causative agents in Sochi during the preparation and holding of the Fifa World Cup 2018

Abstract

During the preparation of the FIFA World Cup 2018 in 2015-2017 genetic features of regional pathogenic strains in the city of Sochi are determined. The strains and nucleic acid isolates of bacterial and viral infectious diseases causative agents — acute intestinal infections: rota-, noro-, astro and enteroviruses, Salmonella enteritidis, natural focal infections: hantaviruses, Rickettsia of tick spotted fevers group, Borrelia are genotyped. In result, complex genetic profiling of infection diseases causative agents variants that are actual for the Sochi region has been carried out. The obtained database was used to provide molecular analysis of pathogens during the XIX International Festival of Youth and Students (2017) and during the FIFA World Cup (2018). The perspective of using this algorithm of genetic analysis in description of outbreaks (cases) of infectious diseases in specific areas is shown.
