Coinfection of Chickens with H9N2 and H7N9 Avian Influenza Viruses Leads to Emergence of Reassortant H9N9 Virus with Increased Fitness for Poultry and a Zoonotic Potential

Abstract: An H7N9 low pathogenicity avian influenza virus (LPAIV) emerged in 2013 through genetic reassortment between H9N2 and other LPAIVs circulating in birds in China. This virus causes inapparent clinical disease in chickens, but zoonotic transmission results in severe and fatal disease in humans. To examine a natural reassortment scenario between H7N9 and G1 lineage H9N2 viruses predominant in the Indian sub-continent, we performed an experimental co-infection of chickens with A/Anhui/1/2013/H7N9 (Anhui/13) virus … Show more

“…The five novel H7N9 genotypes all possessed at least one of the three polymerase genes of either Vietnam or Bangladesh origin, but there was no detectable transmission of any of the Pakistanorigin internal genes (Figure 3 and Table 1). The previously observed viral progeny from the Anhui/13 and H9N2 Pakistan co-infections frequently included the H9 HA gene (34), which again suggested that gene incompatibilities existed between the H7 HA gene and Pakistan-origin internal genes in the current study. The relative abundance and range of transient novel genotypes was relatively low for all co-infections, despite the administration of equal infectious levels of both viruses in the three inocula.…”

“…However, the detection of the H7N2 and H9N9 virus subtypes was limited. Even the reassorted H9N9 virus in the laboratory has shown increased fitness features in poultry [76]. Although intersubtype reassortments between H7 and N9 were frequently detected in waves 2-3 and 5, the frequency of reassortment between HA and NA remained low compared to HA with other segments, demonstrating a robust functional balance between H7 and N9.…”

“…Serum was treated with receptor destroying enzyme (RDE) (supplied and validated by APHA) and heattreated at 56ºC for 30 min, seroconversion to AIV H7N9 was assessed using the hemagglutination inhibition assay (HAI) as previously described [13]. Beta-propiolactone (BPL) (97%, Sigma) inactivated homologous A/Anhui/1/13 [H7N9] antigen was used to quantify hemagglutination inhibition titers (HITs).…”
