Simple, sensitive, and swift sequencing of complete H5N1 avian influenza virus genomes.

ABSTRACT: The spread of highly pathogenic avian influenza A virus (HPAIV) of subtype H5N1 demands fast and reliable methods for in-depth, full-length sequence analysis. For this purpose, we designed a simple and sensitive method for the preparation of sequencing libraries from H5N1 HPAIV diagnostic RNA samples for sequencing with the Genome Sequencer FLX instrument. The method presented seamlessly integrates high-throughput pyrosequencing with the Roche/454 instrument into diagnostics without the need for additional equipment or molecular biological techniques besides standard PCR and the Genome Sequencer FLX sample preparation and sequencing pipeline.

Avian Influenza A(H5N1) Virus in Egypt.

Project description:In Egypt, avian influenza A subtype H5N1 and H9N2 viruses are enzootic in poultry. The control plan devised by veterinary authorities in Egypt to prevent infections in poultry focused mainly on vaccination and ultimately failed. Recently, widespread H5N1 infections in poultry and a substantial increase in the number of human cases of H5N1 infection were observed. We summarize surveillance data from 2009 through 2014 and show that avian influenza viruses are established in poultry in Egypt and are continuously evolving genetically and antigenically. We also discuss the epidemiology of human infection with avian influenza in Egypt and describe how the true burden of disease is underestimated. We discuss the failures of relying on vaccinating poultry as the sole intervention tool. We conclude by highlighting the key components that need to be included in a new strategy to control avian influenza infections in poultry and humans in Egypt.

Avian influenza A H5N1 virus: a continuous threat to humans.

Project description:We report the first case of severe pneumonia due to co-infection with the emerging avian influenza A (H5N1) virus subclade 2.3.2.1 and Mycoplasma pneumoniae. The patient was a returning traveller who had visited a poultry market in South China. We then review the epidemiology, virology, interspecies barrier limiting poultry-to-human transmission, clinical manifestation, laboratory diagnosis, treatment and control measures of H5N1 clades that can be transmitted to humans. The recent controversy regarding the experiments involving aerosol transmission of recombinant H5N1 virus between ferrets is discussed. We also review the relative contribution of the poor response to antiviral treatment and the virus-induced hyperinflammatory damage to the pathogenesis and the high mortality of this infection. The factors related to the host, virus or medical intervention leading to the difference in disease mortality of different countries remain unknown. Because most developing countries have difficulty in instituting effective biosecurity measures, poultry vaccination becomes an important control measure. The rapid evolution of the virus would adversely affect the efficacy of poultry vaccination unless a correctly matched vaccine was chosen, manufactured and administered in a timely manner. Vigilant surveillance must continue to allow better preparedness for another poultry or human pandemic due to new viral mutants.

Avian influenza A virus (H5N1) outbreaks, Kuwait, 2007.

Project description:Phylogenetic analysis of influenza A viruses (H5N1) isolated from Kuwait in 2007 show that (H5N1) sublineage clade 2.2 viruses continue to spread across Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. Virus isolates were most closely related to isolates from central Asia and were likely vectored by migratory birds.

Global spatiotemporal and genetic footprint of the H5N1 avian influenza virus.

Project description:BACKGROUND: Since 2005, the Qinghai-like lineage of the highly pathogenic avian influenza A virus H5N1 has rapidly spread westward to Europe, the Middle East and Africa, reaching a dominant level at a global scale in 2006. METHODS: Based on a combination of genetic sequence data and H5N1 outbreak information from 2005 to 2011, we use an interdisciplinary approach to improve our understanding of the transmission pattern of this particular clade 2.2, and present cartography of global spatiotemporal transmission footprints with genetic characteristics. RESULTS: Four major viral transmission routes were derived with three sources- Russia, Mongolia, and the Middle East (Kuwait and Saudi Arabia)-in the three consecutive years 2005, 2006 and 2007. With spatiotemporal transmission along each route, genetic distances to isolate A/goose/Guangdong/1996 are becoming significantly larger, leading to a more challenging situation in certain regions like Korea, India, France, Germany, Nigeria and Sudan. Europe and India have had at least two incursions along multiple routes, causing a mixed virus situation. In addition, spatiotemporal distribution along the routes showed that 2007/2008 was a temporal separation point for the infection of different host species; specifically, wild birds were the main host in 2005-2007/2008 and poultry was responsible for the genetic mutation in 2009-2011. "Global-to-local" and "high-to-low latitude" transmission footprints have been observed. CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggest that both wild birds and poultry play important roles in the transmission of the H5N1 virus clade, but with different spatial, temporal, and genetic dominance. These characteristics necessitate that special attention be paid to countries along the transmission routes.

Reassortant avian influenza virus (H5N1) in poultry, Nigeria, 2007.

Project description:Genetic characterization of a selection of influenza virus (H5N1) samples, circulating in 8 Nigerian states over a 39-day period in early 2007, indicates that a new reassortant strain is present in 7 of the 8 states. Our study reports an entirely different influenza virus (H5N1) reassortant becoming predominant and widespread in poultry.

Complete Genome Sequence of the First H5N1 Avian Influenza Virus Isolated from Chickens in Lebanon in 2016.

Project description:We generated the full genome of a highly pathogenic H5N1 avian influenza virus that caused an outbreak on a chicken farm in Lebnaon in April 2016. Analysis revealed that the virus belonged to clade 2.3.2.1c that recently caused outbreaks in West Africa and the United Arab Emirates.

Evolution of an avian H5N1 influenza A virus escape mutant.

Project description:AIM:To investigate the genetic constitution of an escape mutant H5N1 strain and to screen the presence of possible amino acid signatures that could differentiate it from other Egyptian H5N1 strains. METHODS:Phylogenetic, evolutionary patterns and amino acid signatures of the genes of an escape mutant H5N1 influenza A virus isolated in Egypt on 2009 were analyzed using direct sequencing and multisequence alignments. RESULTS:All the genes of the escape mutant H5N1 strain showed a genetic pattern potentially related to Eurasian lineages. Evolution of phylogenetic trees of different viral genes revealed the absence of reassortment in the escape mutant strain while confirming close relatedness to other H5N1 Egyptian strains from human and avian species. A variety of amino acid substitutions were recorded in different proteins compared to the available Egyptian H5N1 strains. The strain displayed amino acid substitutions in different viral alleles similar to other Egyptian H5N1 strains without showing amino acid signatures that could differentiate the escape mutant from other Egyptian H5N1. CONCLUSION:The genetic characteristics of avian H5N1 in Egypt revealed evidence of a high possibility of inter-species transmission. No amino acid signatures were found to differentiate the escape mutant H5N1 strain from other Egyptian H5N1 strains.
