Evolution of H9N2 avian influenza viruses in Iran, 2017-2019

Mohsen Bashashati, David H. Chung, Mohammad Hossein Fallah Mehrabadi, Dong-Hun Lee

Summary: The evolutionary history of H9N2 avian influenza viruses in Iran shows that only the Iran 4 subgroup has survived and currently circulates in the country; the viruses possess molecular markers associated with mammalian adaption; continued surveillance of H9N2 viruses is needed to monitor their evolution and potential threat to public health.

Risk assessment of the newly emerged H7N9 avian influenza viruses

Pengxiang Chang, Jean-Remy Sadeyen, Sushant Bhat, Rebecca Daines, Altaf Hussain, Huseyin Yilmaz, Munir Iqbal

Summary: Since 2013, the H7N9 avian influenza viruses (AIVs) have caused over 1500 human infections and a mortality rate of approximately 40%. Despite vaccination efforts, the viruses continue to evolve rapidly in poultry and some strains have the ability to escape vaccine-induced immunity. Recent analysis showed that the H7N9 AIVs from the early epidemic waves had dual receptor binding characteristics, but more recent strains lost or retained weak human receptor binding. The viruses also demonstrated increased acid stability but reduced thermal stability compared to earlier strains, and showed poor cross-reactivity with human monoclonal antibodies and ferret antisera.

Surveillance of avian influenza viruses from 2014 to 2018 in South Korea

Erica Espano, Sang-Mu Shim, Eun-Jung Song, Jeong-Hyun Nam, Seo-Hee Jeong, Bill Thaddeus Padasas, Sang-Hyun Kim, Jeong-Ki Kim

Summary: Surveillance of influenza A viruses (IAVs) in migratory waterfowl is important for understanding their ecology and pathogenicity. In South Korea, fecal samples were collected from migratory bird stopover sites between November 2014 and January 2018. Out of 6758 samples, 75 were positive for IAV (1.11% positivity). The most prevalent subtypes were H1, H6, and H5 for HA, and N1, N3, and N2 for NA. Phylogenetic analysis showed clustering with isolates from other locations along the flyway. Majority of the IAVs were of low pathogenicity.

Surveillance of avian influenza viruses from 2009 to 2013 in South Korea

Jeong-Hyun Nam, Erica Espano, Eun-Jung Song, Sang-Mu Shim, Woonsung Na, Seo-Hee Jeong, Jiyeon Kim, Jaebong Jang, Daesub Song, Jeong-Ki Kim

Summary: Surveillance of circulating avian influenza viruses in South Korea from 2009 to 2013 revealed predominantly low pathogenic strains among wild migratory birds, with no matches found for high pathogenicity strains. Regular surveillance studies are crucial to identify potential sources of influenza viruses that may threaten animal and human health.

Novel reassortment 2.3.4.4b H5N8 highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses circulating in Xinjiang, China

Nana Chang, Cheng Zhang, Xindi Mei, Fei Du, Juan Li, Lijuan Zhang, Han Du, Fengze Yun, Dilihuma Aji, Weifeng Shi, Yuhai Bi, Zhenghai Ma

Summary: In 2017, four H5N8 isolates were obtained from a live poultry market in Xinjiang, China, with genetic components originating from various geographic locations. Phylogenetic analysis revealed close relationships between the isolates and viruses from different regions such as Egypt, Siberia, Vietnam, Cambodia, African countries, and India. Mutations associated with increased virulence and polymerase activity in mammals were identified in all isolates, indicating multiple introductions of reassorted viruses. These findings suggest that the wetlands of Northern Tianshan Mountain may serve as important sites for the dissemination of H5N8 AIVs among Central China, the Eurasian continent, and East African Countries.

Limited onward transmission potential of reassortment genotypes from chickens co-infected with H9N2 and H7N9 avian influenza viruses

Wen Su, Sin Fun Sia, Ka-Tim Choy, Yue Ji, Dongdong Chen, Eric Ho Yin Lau, Guanghua Fu, Yu Huang, Jinhua Liu, Malik Peiris, Juan Pu, Hui-Ling Yen

Summary: The study investigated the reassortment patterns of avian influenza viruses in chickens, showing that co-infection with different A(H7N9) and A(H9N2) viruses may lead to the emergence of novel reassortant viruses with increased zoonotic potential. The results demonstrated different transmission patterns of novel reassortant viruses in chickens co-infected with different combinations of viruses, highlighting the importance of understanding genetic diversity acquisition in influenza viruses through co-infection.

Mixed selling of different poultry species facilitates emergence of public-health-threating avian influenza viruses

Zhen Wang, Hongkui Li, Yuhan Li, Zhuanli Wu, Hui Ai, Ming Zhang, Libin Rong, Michael L. Blinov, Qi Tong, Litao Liu, Honglei Sun, Juan Pu, Wenhai Feng, Jinhua Liu, Yipeng Sun

Summary: Live poultry markets (LPMs) serve as important channels for avian influenza virus (AIV) transmission, posing significant risks to human AIV infections. Our surveillance study in Guangdong province revealed that AIV isolation rate was higher in retail LPMs compared to wholesale LPM. The dominant AIV subtype was H9N2, mainly present in chickens and quails. The genetic diversity of H9N2 viruses was greater in retail LPMs, with a complex two-way transmission system between different poultry species. This increased genetic diversity may facilitate the emergence of novel viruses threatening public health.

Viral tropism and detection of clade 2.3.4.4b H5N8 highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses in feathers of ducks and geese

Nicolas Gaide, Charlotte Foret-Lucas, Thomas Figueroa, Timothee Vergne, Marie-Noelle Lucas, Luc Robertet, Marie Souvestre, Guillaume Croville, Guillaume Le Loc'h, Maxence Delverdier, Jean-Luc Guerin

Summary: Feather samples were found to have higher viral loads than tracheal or cloacal swabs in ducks and geese infected with H5N8 HPAIV, with better detectability of the virus in feathers in the early course of infection. This suggests that feather samples should be included in the toolbox of samples for detection of clade 2.3.4.4b HPAI viruses, at least in ducks and geese.

Evolutionary pressures rendered by animal husbandry practices for avian influenza viruses to adapt to humans

Maristela Martins de Camargo, Alexandre Rodrigues Caetano, Isabel Kinney Ferreira de Miranda Santos

Summary: Commercial poultry operations with low variability in major histocompatibility complex increase the risk of viral mutations and immunosuppressive stress. Increasing the genetic variability of major histocompatibility complex can lower the virulence of avian influenza viruses and decrease the risk of selecting highly virulent strains.

Yi Zhang, David Muscatello, Yi Tian, Yanwei Chen, Shuang Li, Wei Duan, Chunna Ma, Ying Sun, Shuangsheng Wu, Lin Ge, Peng Yang, Lei Jia, Quanyi Wang, Chandini Raina MacIntyre

Summary: The study found that at least 15% of 100 secondary COVID-19 cases were due to presymptomatic transmission of the virus, with the earliest presymptomatic contact event occurring 5 days prior to the index case's onset of symptoms. This highlights the importance of earlier contact tracing and preventing transmission opportunities before the onset of symptoms.

Prevention of SARS-CoV-2 transmission from international arrivals: Xiaotangshan Designated Hospital, China

Zujin Luo, Yi Zhang, Yue Zheng, C. Raina MacIntyre, Ying Liang, Quanyi Wang, Yingmin Ma

Summary: In March 2020, Beijing, China faced a surge in international arrivals for COVID-19 screening, leading to overwhelmed healthcare workers and depleted medical resources. The government issued a policy mandating the transfer of asymptomatic passengers to quarantine hotels and symptomatic ones to designated hospitals. Xiaotangshan Designated Hospital was repurposed to efficiently screen and isolate international arrivals, provide medical care for COVID-19 cases, and prioritize critically ill patients for higher-level hospitals. This flexible approach allowed for optimal patient care without compromising public safety, aligning with WHO recommendations for pandemic response capacity improvement.

Summary: Between September 2011 and August 2018, a total of 133,131 acute diarrhoea cases were studied in Beijing. Out of 13,139 specimens collected and tested, 16.84% were positive for NoV. Three different NoV strains, GII.4 Sydney, GII.17, and GII.2, were predominant during different time periods. Excess cases of NoV-associated acute diarrhoea were observed during the predominance periods, ranging from 114.7% to 180.5% increase compared to baseline levels. This study highlights the impact of new NoV variants on gastroenteritis outbreaks.
