Abstract:

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 Middle-East countriessuch as the UAE, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia, as well as India, and it is probable that their ancestors haveundergone reassortment with other subtypes. The Nucleotide sequences of their PB2 are highly similar toeach other with 97.5-99.6% homology percentage showing the least mutations in their genes during theperiod of 1998 to 2001. The PB2 of the Iranian isolates contain Glutamic acid-(E) in position 627, Asparticacid-(D) in 701 and Serine-(S) in 714 as other avian isolates.

Pathogenicity and haemagglutinin gene sequence analysis of Iranian avian influenza H9N2 viruses isolated during (1998–2001)

Sixteen avian influenza (AI) H9N2 viruses were isolated from disease outbreaks in different parts of Iranduring (1998–2001). These AI isolates were used for pathogenicity, haemagglutinin (HA) gene variation andphylogenetic analysis. Results in both pathogenicity tests and HA gene cleavage site sequence detectionrepresented a non-highly pathogenic feature for all Iranian AI isolates studied. The...

Isolation of H9N2 Subtype of Avian Influenza Viruses during an Outbreak in Chickens in Iran

Avian influenza is an important disease of poultry with the potential to cause major epidemics resulting in significant economic losses. The presence of avian influenza viruses (AIV) in chickens in Iran has not been previously reported. An avian influenza outbreak in broiler, layer and breeder farms occurred during a very hot summer in July 1998. Three AIV isolates designated as 101, 102 and 10...

Genetic and phylogenetic analysis of the ribonucleoprotein complex genes of H9N2 avian influenza viruses isolated from commercial poultry 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...

Sequence Analysis and Phylogenetic Study of Hemagglutinin Gene of H9N2 Subtype of Avian Influenza Virus Isolated during 1998-2002 in Iran

Sequence analysis and phylogenetic study of hemagglutinin (HA) gene of H9N2 subtype of avian influenza virus isolates (outbreaks of 1998-2002) in Tehran province (Iran) were studied. Two sets of forward and reverse primers in highly conserved regions, based on sequences of HA gene in Genbank, were designed. PCR products of a 430-bp fragment of 16 isolates were sequenced and then were aligned wi...
