abstract

backgrounds and objectives: classified as low pathogenic avian influenza (lpai) viruses, the h9n2 subtype causes severe respiratory disease in poultry farms and occasional respiratory disease in humans. in this study, the neuraminidase (na) gene of three avian influenza (ai) h9n2 strains isolated from poultry farms in iran during 2010-11, as well as other reported iranian h9n2 isolates, were genetically analyzed and their nucleotide changes were evaluated. materials and methods: the na gene of three aivs were sequenced and evaluated for genetic characteristics and phylogenetic relationship. results: one new potential glycosylation site (pgs) at amino acid position 306 was observed in one of the studied isolates (a/chicken/iran/n102/2011). antigenic sites of na in iranian h9n2 isolates have varied in a yearly manner. the iranian isolates can be divided into 2 main subgroups; 11-t like subgroup viruses isolated mainly during 1998-2004 and second subgroup viruses isolated during 2004-2009. interestingly, the three studied isolates fell into a third subgroup. the nucleotide sequences of the three studied isolates showed high identity to recent pakistani h9n2 isolates (94.5-97%) compared to former iranian aiv isolates (89-94%). conclusion: high frequency of substitutions in the na gene of studied isolates in recent years and effects of those substitutions on the pathogenicity of ai virus highlight the need to continue surveillance of genetic characteristics of aiv h9n2 in iran.

Phylogenetic Analysis of Hemagglutinin Gene of H9N2 Avian Influenza Viruses Isolated from Chicken in Iran in 2010-2011: Emerging of a New Subgroup

Background and Aims: Hemagglutinin (HA) protein of Avian Influenza (AI) plays an essential role in the virus pathogenicity. AI H9N2 subtype causes significant economic loss in broiler and layer in poultry farms in Iran. AI viruses have a great involvement in evolutionary changes at nucleotide and amino acid levels and vaccines could induce faster rates of such changes. Up-dated understanding of...

Neuraminidase gene sequence analysis of avian influenza H9N2 viruses isolated from Iran

Influenza A viruses possesses two virion surface glycoproteins including haemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA). The NA plays an important role in viral replication and promotes virus release from infected cells and facilitates virus spread throughout the body. To find out any genomic changes that might be occurred on NA gene of avian influenza circulating viruses, we have genetically analy...

Phylogenetic analysis of PB2 gene of H9N2 subtype of avian influenza viruses isolated from commercial chickens in Tehran province of Iran during 1998-2001

The PB2 protein of influenza A viruses has been shown as host range determinant. In this study PB2gene of five H9N2 isolates from Tehran province during the period of 1998-2001 were partially amplifiedand sequenced to do phylogenetic study. Iranian isolates could be classified in Eurasian lineage according totheir PB2 gene sequences. The PB2 genes of these isolates are different from those of M...
