Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza H5N1 A/Chicken/France/150169a/2015 Presents In Vitro Characteristics Consistent with Its Predicted Tropism for Avian Species
AVIAN DISEASES(2020)
摘要
Avian influenza A viruses are a major threat to animal and public health. Since 1997, several highly pathogenic H5N1 avian viruses have been directly transmitted from poultry to humans, caused numerous human deaths, and had considerable economic impact on poultry markets. During 2015-2016, a highly pathogenic avian influenza outbreak occurred in southwestern France. Different subtypes circulated, including the A/chicken/France/150169a/2015 H5N1 highly pathogenic virus, which did not possess the full set of genomic determinants known to promote transmission to humans. In order to evaluate the predicted absence of zoonotic potential, a quick method based on in vitro tests was developed to analyze some genetic and phenotypic host restriction determinants. A receptor-binding assay showed that the virus preferentially recognizes avian cell receptors. Temperature sensitivity revealed a cold-sensitive phenotype of the virus at 33 C as virus replication was reduced in contrast with what is expected for human influenza viruses, according to their primary infection sites. Altogether, our quick evaluation method suggests that the A/chicken/France/150169a/2015 H5N1 highly pathogenic virus has an avian phenotype in vitro, in accordance with in silico predictions based on genomic markers.
