Abstrakt: The extensive mass gathering of pilgrims from all over the world, as well as the constant flow of foreign workers via country entry crossings, raises the likelihood of respiratory virus outbreaks spreading and evolving in Saudi Arabia. Here, we report the sequence and phylogenetic analysis of the human parainfluenza type-2 (HPIV-2) in nasopharyngeal aspirates (NPAs) collected from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, from 2020/21 to 2021/22 seasons. RNA was extracted from the clinical samples and subjected to RT-PCR analysis for the detection of IAV and IBV. The full-length HN gene of HPIV-2 was amplified and sequenced. Multiple sequence alignments (both nucleotides and deduced amino acids) were aligned using Clustal W, MegAlign program of Lasergene software, and MEGA 7.0. HPIV-2 was found in (4; 2% of 200) NPAs. Sequence and phylogenetic analysis results showed that indicated a genotype shifting from G3 to G4a with 83% sequence homology 62-M786 from Japan, which was prominent throughout the winter seasons of 2008/09. Multiple amino acid sequence alignment revealed 25 sites of possible difference between G3 genotypes and G4a. A total of twenty- two of these locations were shared by the other G4a genotypes, whereas three positions, 67 V, 175 S, and 377Q, were exclusively shared by G3. Only eight conserved N-glycosylation sites were found at amino acids 6(NLS), 286(NTT), 335(NIT), 388(NNS), 498(NES), 504(NPT), 517(NTT), and 539(NGT) in four Riyadh isolates. Our findings also revealed that the G4a genotype of HPIV-2 predominated in our samples population during the winter seasons of 2020/21 and 2021/22. Further research with a larger sample size covering numerous regions of Saudi Arabia throughout different epidemic seasons is needed to achieve an improved knowledge of HPIV-2 circulation.
