Novel H7N7 avian influenza viruses detected in migratory wild birds in eastern China between 2018 and 2020

Conghui Zhao et al.

Summary: Wild birds serve as natural reservoirs for avian influenza viruses, and monitoring and assessing these viruses in wild birds provide valuable information for early warning and control of animal diseases. This study isolated 19 H7N7 avian influenza viruses from wild birds between 2018 and 2020, which actively reassorted with other avian influenza viruses to form different genotypes. These H7N7 viruses could bind to both avian-type and human-type receptors, with a lower affinity for human-type receptors. Furthermore, they replicated efficiently in the upper respiratory tract and caecum of domestic ducks, and the H5/H7 inactivated vaccine provided complete protection against H7N7 wild bird virus in ducks. These findings highlight the substantial threat of wild bird H7N7 viruses to the poultry industry in the East Asian-Australian migratory flyway, emphasizing the importance of influenza virus surveillance in both wild and domestic birds and supporting the development of active control strategies against H7N7 virus.

Emergence of a novel reassortant avian influenza virus (H10N3) in Eastern China with high pathogenicity and respiratory droplet transmissibility to mammals

Kaituo Liu et al.

Summary: Decades after the discovery of the H10-subtype avian influenza virus in 1949, a new novel reassortant H10N3 virus has been isolated in chickens, showing low pathogenicity in chickens but high pathogenicity in mice and guinea pigs. These viruses can be transmitted between animals via direct contact and respiratory droplets, and have the ability to bind to both human-type and avian-type receptors, posing a potential threat to human and public health.

Wenli Gu et al.

Summary: This study analyzed 15 H5N6 viruses isolated from poultry and seven H5N6 viruses isolated from humans, and found that they formed seven different genotypes derived from H5N8 viruses, domestic duck H5N6 viruses, and other previously circulating viruses in China. Two of these genotypes have caused human infections in multiple provinces.

Summary: This study reveals the introduction of North American H10 viruses to Asia through migratory birds and the reassortment with other subtypes, resulting in the emergence of novel H10N4 and H10N8 viruses in eastern China. These emerging H10 reassortants demonstrate efficient replication and transmission in chickens, ducks, and mice, posing a high potential threat to the poultry industry and human health.

Multiple Introductions of Reassorted Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza H5Nx Viruses Clade 2.3.4.4b Causing Outbreaks in Wild Birds and Poultry in The Netherlands, 2020-2021

Marc Engelsma et al.

Summary: Outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5Nx viruses occurred in the Netherlands between October 2020 and June 2021. Genetic analysis of 143 viruses revealed that HPAI viruses were mainly of subtype H5N8, followed by H5N1, while other subtypes (H5N3, H5N4, and H5N5) were also detected. The analysis suggested multiple independent introductions of HPAI H5N8 viruses, as well as transmission between farms. The study provides insights into the genetic diversity, evolution, and spread of HPAI viruses in wild birds and poultry.

Sungsu Youk et al.

Summary: Wild bird-origin H7 subtype avian influenza viruses pose a constant threat to commercial poultry, and understanding their genetic basis and evolutionary pathways is crucial. This study analyzed the changes in HA genes of H7 viruses over time in both wild birds and poultry, identifying recurring amino acid changes and gene constellations. The findings shed light on the adaptation and mutation of the virus in poultry and increase our understanding of its evolutionary pathways.

Maintenance and dissemination of avian-origin influenza A virus within the northern Atlantic Flyway of North America

Diann J. Prosser et al.

Summary: Wild waterbirds play an important role in the persistence and spread of avian influenza viruses (IAVs) within the Atlantic Flyway (AF). This study investigated the spatio-temporal trends of IAVs in waterfowl from breeding and wintering areas along the east coast of North America. The results revealed stable genome constellations in the northern site across years and the presence of virus gene flow between different study locations. These findings contribute to the understanding of IAV ecology in waterfowl within the AF.

Summary: H5N1 avian influenza viruses carrying the clade 2.3.4.4b hemagglutinin gene have been circulating widely in wild birds and causing significant poultry loss worldwide. China has identified 13 H5N1 virus isolates and found genetic relationships with globally circulating strains, forming 16 genotypes. These Chinese isolates exhibit different pathogenicity in mice and show antigenic similarity to the currently used vaccine strain in China.
