Novel reassortant of H9N2 avian influenza viruses isolated from chickens and quails in Egypt

Moataz Elsayed et al.

Summary: This study identified a novel reassortant virus in poultry in Egypt, with segments acquired from both classic Egyptian H9N2 viruses and Eurasian AIVs. The genetic changes in HA and NA genes, as well as the antigenic mutations found in the new reassortant virus isolated from quails, raise concerns about a potential influenza pandemic with zoonotic potentials.

Comprehensive assessment of amino acid substitutions in the trimeric RNA polymerase complex of influenza A virus detected in clinical trials of baloxavir marboxil

Takashi Hashimoto et al.

Summary: Background Baloxavir marboxil (BXM) is an approved drug that selectively targets cap-dependent endonuclease on PA subunit in the RNA polymerase complex of influenza A and B viruses. Amino acid substitutions at position 38 in the PA subunit were identified as a major pathway for reduced susceptibility to baloxavir acid (BXA), the active form of BXM. Additionally, substitutions found at positions E23, A37, and E199 in the PA subunit impact BXA susceptibility by less than 10-fold. These results highlight the importance of understanding the impact of specific amino acid substitutions on antiviral drug susceptibility.

A risk marker of tribasic hemagglutinin cleavage site in influenza A (H9N2) virus

Jiahao Zhang et al.

Summary: The study found that the hemagglutinin cleavage sites of H9N2 viruses tended to mutate towards hydrophilic during evolution, with the prevalence of tribasic HACS in Asia and the Middle East. The tribasic H9N2 viruses showed increased viral replication, stability, pathogenicity, and transmission in chickens, as well as virulence in mice compared to the monobasic H9N2 viruses. Moreover, the enlarged RNA secondary structures of HACS in H9N2 viruses accelerated the frequency of nucleotide insertion.

Molecular Characterization of Closely Related H6N2 Avian Influenza Viruses Isolated from Turkey, Egypt, and Uganda

Yavuz Mercan et al.

Summary: Genetic and molecular characterization of H6N2 influenza viruses isolated from migratory birds in Turkey, Egypt, and Uganda during 2017-2018 revealed that Egyptian and Turkish isolates were genetically closer to each other, and that multiple reassortment events may have been involved in the genesis of the isolated viruses. These viruses contained molecular markers associated with increased replication and pathogenicity in mammals, indicating potential risks for poultry and human exposure.

Antigenic and molecular characterization of low pathogenic avian influenza A(H9N2) viruses in sub-Saharan Africa from 2017 through 2019

Maxime Fusade-Boyer et al.

Summary: Sub-Saharan Africa has historically been considered a cold spot for animal influenza, but in 2017, low pathogenic avian influenza A(H9N2) viruses were detected in poultry. Genetic analysis showed that isolates from Benin, Togo, and Uganda belonged to the G1 lineage, with Ugandan viruses being genetically distant and clustering with Middle Eastern viruses. Surveillance for viral genetic and antigenic changes is crucial in Africa to detect potential zoonotic strains.

Seroprevalence of influenza A (H9N2) virus infection among humans in China: A meta-analysis

Yanping Qi et al.

Summary: This study conducted a comprehensive assessment of H9N2 virus infection seroprevalence and related risk factors among humans in China, finding that central China had a higher seroprevalence compared to other regions. The seroprevalence of H9N2 infection was associated with sampling time, testing methodology, gender, and other demographic factors.

Assessing the effects of a two-amino acid flexibility in the Hemagglutinin 220-loop receptor-binding domain on the fitness of Influenza A(H9N2) viruses

Yixue Sun et al.

Summary: This study focused on the h9.4.2.5 sublineage of H9N2 avian influenza viruses, revealing the essential roles of residues 226 and 227 in receptor avidity and immune evasion. The flexibility at these two residues was shown to modulate receptor avidity and potentially contribute to the emergence of immune evasion mutants in H9N2 viruses. Residues 226 and 227 are under selective pressure and their synergistic regulation of receptor avidity and antigenicity may play a significant role in the evolution of circulating H9N2 viruses.

Koichiro Tamura et al.

Summary: MEGA software, a mature tool for computational molecular evolution, has been enhanced with new additions for building timetrees of species, pathogens, and gene families using rapid relaxed-clock methods. These additions include methods for estimating divergence times, confidence intervals, and new options for tagging sequences with spatiotemporal sampling information. The enhancements aim to improve user experience, result quality, and the pace of biological discovery.
