phylogenetic analysis of hemagglutinin gene of h9n2 avian influenza viruses isolated from chicken in iran in 2010-2011: emerging of a new subgroup
Authors
abstract
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 the genetic changes of ai viruses circulating in iran is necessary for controlling ai. materials and methods: sequence analysis and phylogenetic study of the ha gene of three h9n2 subtype of ai isolates in iran in 2010-2011 were studied. results: cleavage site of the iranian 2010-2011 isolates possessed a different motif. amino acid residue at position 226 at receptor binding site in these isolates was leucine, which was similar to human viruses. the epitopes for ha showed a great variation related to the year of isolation. according to phylogenetic analysis, iranian isolates were divided into two main subgroups. but, viruses isolated in this study formed a third minor subgroup. degree of homology between the 2010-2011 isolates and former iranian isolates was significantly low. conclusion: the results revealed that ha of new iranian ai h9n2 isolates have undergone extensive genetic changes. definitely, continuous monitoring of genetic changes is a useful tool for updating control strategy for ai outbreak in iran.

BACKGROUND: The H9N2 subtype of avian influenzaviruses (AIVs) has been isolated in multiple avian species inmany European, Asian, African and American countries. Sincethe first outbreak of H9N2 virus in Iran in 1998, this virus haswidely circulated throughout the country, resulting in majoreconomic losses in chicken flocks. Several amino acids in thevirus ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complex includi...

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...

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...
