Antigenic Detection of Human Strain of Influenza Virus A (H3N2) in Swine Populations at Three Locations in Nigeria and Ghana during the Dry Early Months of 2014

Since the first detection of human H3N2 influenza virus in Taiwanese pigs in 1970, infection of pigs with wholly human viruses has been known to occur in other parts of the world. These viruses, referred to as human‐like H3N2 viruses, have been known to cause clinical and subclinical infections of swine populations. Due to the paucity and complete unavailability of information on transmission of influenza viruses from other species, especially humans, to swine in Nigeria and Ghana, respectively, this study was designed to investigate the presence and prevalence of a human strain of influenza A (H3N2) in swine populations at three locations in two cities within these two West African countries in January and February, 2014. Using stratified random technique, nasal swab specimens were collected from seventy‐five (75) pigs at two locations in Ibadan, Nigeria and from fifty (50) pigs in Kumasi, Ghana. These specimens were tested directly by a sensitive Quantitative Solid Phase Antigen‐detection Sandwich ELISA using anti‐A/Brisbane/10/2007 haemagglutinin monoclonal antibody. Influenza virus A/Brisbane/10/2007 (H3N2) was detected among pigs at the three study locations, with an aggregate prevalence of 4.0% for the two locations in Ibadan, Nigeria and also 4.0% for Kumasi, Ghana. Transmission of influenza viruses from other species to swine portends serious sinister prospects for genetic reassortment and evolvement of novel viruses. We therefore recommend that further studies should be carried out to investigate the presence of other circulating human and avian influenza viruses in swine populations in West Africa and also determine the extent of genetic reassortment of strains circulating among these pigs. This would provide an early warning system for detection of novel influenza viruses, which could have pandemic potentials.     

四株分离自同一猪场的H3N2亚型猪流感病毒的进化分析

猪作为流感病毒异源毒株间发生基因重组的"混合容器",其呼吸道上皮细胞上同时存在着能够感染人（SA α-2,6-Gal）和禽（SA α-2,3-Gal）两种流感病毒的受体,具备产生新型流感病毒的潜力。在我们的前期研究中,连续两年（2013年和2014年）从南宁地区某个规模化养猪场当中分离获得了2株新型甲型流感病毒重配的H3N2亚型猪流感病毒（swine influenza viruses,SIVs）。为了解SIVs在同一地方的遗传进化规律,我们在2018年至2019年间对该猪场进行了持续的监测,并于2019年再次成功分离获得了2株H3N2亚型的三源重组毒株,命名为A/swine/Guangxi/JG13/2019（简称JG13/2019）和A/swine/Guangxi/JG20/2019（简称JG20/2019）。遗传进化分析表明其基因重配形式与2013年分离株A/swine/Guangxi/JGB4/2013（简称JGB4/2013）和2014年分离株A/swine/Guangxi/JG1/2014（简称JG1/2014）相同,表面基因HA和NA来源于类人H3N2谱系,内部基因NP、M、PA、PB1和PB2来源于2009年甲型H1N1大流感谱系（pdm/09H1N1）,NS基因来源于古典型H1N1谱系。此外,新分离株JG13/2019和JG20/2019同早期分离株JGB4/2013和JG1/2014 HA和NA基因的核苷酸相似性分别为95.3%~97.4%和93.9%~97.0%,内部基因（NP、M、PA、PB1和PB2）的核苷酸相似性为96.2%~98.1%,NS基因的核苷酸相似性为97.1%~97.6%。通过分析比较这些年代不同毒株之间的关键氨基酸位点差异,结果发现JG20/2019和JG13/2019的HA蛋白仍旧保持了与人型受体结合的分子特征（190D、226I和228S）,却也出现了V223I或P227S的新变化,JG13/2019的PA蛋白（R356K）和PB2蛋白（I588T）也与之前的毒株有所不同。这些位点上的氨基酸改变是否影响到病毒的致病能力、复制能力以及跨种间传播能力,有待今后进一步研究。历经6年,携带有pdm/09 H1N1多种内部基因片段（PB2、PB1、PA、M、NP）和类人表面基因（HA和NA）的H3N2亚型SIVs依旧在同一个猪场的猪群中流行,虽然其关键的功能区域出现了基因突变,但是仍然保持着能够感染人的受体结合特性。因此,加强对SIVs流行情况的监测,将为今后防控人类流感大暴发提供预警。     

一株重配型H1N2猪流感病毒的进化分析及对小鼠的致病性

为了进一步了解我国辽宁省猪流感(SI)的流行情况及病原的进化规律,对2016年年末在辽宁省某生猪屠宰场进行SI病原学监测时分离到的一株H1N2亚型猪流感病毒(SIV)A/swine/Liaoning/FX575/2016(简称FX575)进行全基因组序列测定,通过对其8个基因片段的基因来源进行分析,确定基因型;构建系统进化树;分析相关分子特征;进一步以6周龄雌性BALB/c小鼠为感染模型,通过测定感染后小鼠的体重变化和脏器病毒含量评估病毒的致病性。结果显示:FX575为一株三重重配型的H1N2病毒,遗传进化分析结果显示病毒的HA基因来自于欧亚类禽型H1N1(EA H1N1)分支的SIV,NA基因来自于北美三重配型H1N2分支的SIV,6个内部基因(PB2、PB1、PA、NP、M和NS)均来自于2009/H1N1分支的病毒。以10~6EID₅₀的剂量经鼻腔途径感染小鼠后,能够引起小鼠出现明显的体重下降,其中有1只小鼠在感染后第7天体重下降的比率超过25%,判为死亡;感染后第3天在小鼠肺及鼻甲骨中均检测到较高滴度的病毒,含量分别为4.82、4.20 log₁₀EID₅₀·mL^-1。结果表明SIV在不断流行的过程中,不同基因型病毒之间发生重组导致出现基因三重配的病毒,病毒对小鼠呈现中等致病力特征,提示应进一步加强对SI的主动监测,从而降低病毒对兽医及公共卫生学风险。     

1株H1N1亚型猪流感病毒的全基因组特征及其对小鼠的致病性

旨在了解河南省猪流感病毒的流行情况及其遗传进化和基因组特征。2018年4月，从河南省某一出现疑似流感症状猪群中采集鼻拭子样品150份用于分离病毒，对分离病毒的全基因组进行序列测定和分析。同时感染6周龄BALB/c小鼠，研究其对小鼠的致病性。结果显示，获得1株H1N1亚型病毒[命名为A/swine/Henan/NY20/2018（H1N1）]。遗传进化表明，其HA和NA基因属于欧亚类禽H1N1分支，PB2、PB1、PA、NP和M基因属于2009甲型H1N1分支，NS基因属于经典H1N1分支。HA蛋白的裂解位点序列为PSIQSR↓GL，具有低致病性流感病毒的分子特征，在小鼠肺和鼻甲有效复制并能引起肺组织病理学变化。本研究分离到1株3源重排H1N1亚型病毒，对小鼠呈现一定致病力，提示应进一步加强对SIV的监测。     

猪繁殖与呼吸综合征病毒变异株感染猪超微结构研究

Review of Influenza A Virus in Swine Worldwide: A Call for Increased Surveillance and Research

Pigs and humans have shared influenza A viruses (IAV) since at least 1918, and many interspecies transmission events have been documented since that time. However, despite this interplay, relatively little is known regarding IAV circulating in swine around the world compared with the avian and human knowledge base. This gap in knowledge impedes our understanding of how viruses adapted to swine or man impacts the ecology and evolution of IAV as a whole and the true impact of swine IAV on human health. The pandemic H1N1 that emerged in 2009 underscored the need for greater surveillance and sharing of data on IAV in swine. In this paper, we review the current state of IAV in swine around the world, highlight the collaboration between international organizations and a network of laboratories engaged in human and animal IAV surveillance and research, and emphasize the need to increase information in high‐priority regions. The need for global integration and rapid sharing of data and resources to fight IAV in swine and other animal species is apparent, but this effort requires grassroots support from governments, practicing veterinarians and the swine industry and, ultimately, requires significant increases in funding and infrastructure.     

Molecular Characterization of a H9N2 Subtype Swine Influenza Virus

The objective of this study was to explore the epidemic situation and pathogenic characteristics of swine influenza virus (SIV) in Shandong Province. In the spring of 2019, 130 swine nasal swab samples were collected from a slaughterhouse in Tai'an city, Shandong Province for virus isolation and identification. The whole genome of isolated virus was sequenced and analyzed. Meanwhile, 1 527 swine serum samples were collected from swine farms in 8 regions of Shandong province and their anti-SIV antibody were detected by HI assay using standard avian H9N2 antigen. The results showed that a H9N2 subtype influenza virus strain was isolated and named as A/swine/Shandong/TA009/2019(H9N2). The homology analysis showed that the isolated virus had close genetic relationship with A/environment-air/Kunshan/NIOSH-BL20/2018(H9N2) and A/environment-air/Kunshan/NIOSH-BL25/2018(H9N2), and the nucleotide homology of the gene fragments were above 99.5%. Phylogenetic analysis results demonstrated that HA and NA genes of the isolated virus belong to the Y280-like lineage, PB2 and M genes belong to the G1-like lineage, and PB1, PA, NP and NS genes belong to the SH/F98-like lineage. The cleavage site in HA protein is “PSRSSR/GL”, which was in accordance with the molecular biological characteristics of low pathogenic avian influenza virus.The position 216 of HA protein is L, and it has the ability to bind human-derived sialic acid α 2,6-Gal. The results of HI showed that 9 among 1 527 serum samples were positive with a positive rate of 0.59%. The isolated virus was swine-derived H9N2 virus, and serological investigations revealed that H9N2 subtype virus infection was present in swine herds in Shandong Province. The results of this study suggest that continuous surveillance of the SIV epidemiological situation and its pathogenic characteristics should be strengthened.

Probable reverse zoonosis of influenza A(H1N1)pdm 09 in a striped skunk (Mephitis mephitis)

Striped skunks (skunks) are susceptible to respiratory infection by influenza A viruses (IAV). As they are common synanthropes, maintenance of IAV in skunks could provide a source of infection for humans. We previously studied the nasal turbinates, lungs and faeces of 50 free‐ranging skunks for the presence of IAV and identified two individuals with influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 infection during the 2009/2010 and 2013/2014 flu seasons. Subsequent to publication of that study, ferrets were shown to preferentially replicate and harbour A(H1N1)pdm09 in the soft palate, a site which had not been investigated in the skunks. From March 2015 to May 2016, we surveyed a convenience sample of 80 free‐ranging urban skunks for IAV in soft palate, nasal turbinates and lungs. The newly emergent influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 clade 6B.1 was detected at all three sites in one skunk with acute rhinitis in February 2016. Clade 6B.1 was the dominant clade in circulation during the 2015/2016 flu season. As the skunk was detected at the height of flu season, reverse zoonosis was considered the most probable source of infection.     

Influenza A Viruses Detected in Swine in Southern Germany after the H1N1 Pandemic in 2009

Infections with influenza A viruses (IAV) are highly prevalent in swine populations, and stable cocirculation of at least three lineages has been well documented in European swine – till 2009. However, since the emergence of the human pandemic pdmH1N1 virus in 2009, which has been (re)introduced into individual swine herds worldwide, the situation has been changing. These variations in the respective IAV pools within pig populations are of major interest, and the zoonotic potential of putative emerging viruses needs to be evaluated. As data on recent IAV in swine from southern Germany were relatively sparse, the purpose of this study was to determine the major IAV subtypes actually present in this region. To this aim, from 2010 to 2013, 1417 nasal swabs or lung tissue samples from pigs with respiratory disease were screened for IAV genomes. Overall, in 130 holdings IAV genomes were detected by real‐time RT‐PCR targeting the matrix protein gene. For further analyses, several PCR protocols were adapted to quickly subtype between H1, pdmH1, H3, N1 and N2 sequences. Taken together, cocirculation of the three stable European lineages of IAV was confirmed for Bavaria. H1N1 sequences were identified in 59, whereas H1N2 genomes were only diagnosed in 14, and H3N2 in 9 of the holdings analysed. However, pdmH1 in combination with N1 was detected in 2010, 2012 and 2013 confirming a presence, albeit in low prevalence, likewise pdmH1N2 reassortant viruses. Interestingly, individual cases of coinfections with more than one subtype were diagnosed. Partial genome sequences were determined and phylogenetic analyses performed. Clearly other than in the human population classically circulating IAV have not been displaced by pdmH1N1 in Bavarian swine. However, some interesting viruses were detected. Further surveillance of these viruses in the Bavarian pig population will be of major importance, to monitor future developments.     

H1N1猪流感病毒环介导等温扩增快速检测方法的建立

目的:建立H1N1猪流感病毒环介导等温扩增(LAMP)快速检测方法。方法:从GenBank中获得H1N1猪流感病毒血凝素(HA)、神经氨酸酶(NA)基因序列,应用DNAStar软件MegAlign程序分析其序列,利用Primer ExplorerV4软件在序列保守区域设计LAMP引物,即外引物和内引物,同时以H1N1猪流感病毒的cDNA作为阳性模板,对试验中的几个反应条件进行优化。结果:LAMP检测方法对H1N1猪流感病毒的灵敏度达到4～6个拷贝,其引物对于H9亚型禽流感病毒、猪瘟病毒和猪圆环病毒均无非特异性扩增,表现出良好的特异性。结论:建立的H1N1猪流感病毒环介导等温扩增快速检测方法灵敏度高、特异性强、重复性好,为快速检测猪流感病毒提供了新方法和新思路。     

猪流感病毒H1、H3、N1、N2亚型分型 RT-PCR方法的建立
