The circulation and infection of avian influenza virus (AIV) in zoos and backyard flocks has not been systematically investigated. In the present study, we surveyed the birds including those in live bird markets (LBMs) and evaluated co-circulation of AIVs among them. Overall, 26 H9N2 AIVs and one H6N2 AIV were isolated from backyard flocks and LBMs, but no AIVs were isolated from zoo birds. Genetic analysis of the HA and NA genes indicated that most of the H9N2 AIVs showed higher similarities to AIVs circulating in domestic poultry than to those in wild birds, while the H6N2 AIV isolate from an LBM did to AIVs circulating in migratory wild birds. In serological tests, 15% (391/2619) of the collected sera tested positive for AIVs by competitive-ELISA. Among them, 34% (131/391) of the sera tested positive for AIV H9 antigen by HI test, but only one zoo sample was H9 positive. Although AIVs were not isolated from zoo birds, the serological results indicated that infection of AIVs might occur in zoos. It was also confirmed that H9N2 AIVs continue to circulate and evolve between backyard flocks and LBMs. Therefore, continuous surveillance and monitoring of these flocks should be conducted to control further epidemics.

In the past, there was a theory that influenza wasn't transmitted directly from birds but was infected to humans via swains. Recently, molecular level research has progressed, and it was confirmed that the avian influenza virus can directly infected to human lung and intestinal epithelial cells. Three pandemicsin the past 100 years were also infected to humans directly from birds. In view of such scientific background, we are developing a method for screening sick birds by monitoring the physiological characteristics of birds in a contactless manner with sensors. Here, the movement of respiratory muscles and abdominal muscles under autonomic innervation was monitored using a magnet and Hall sensor sewn on the thoracic wall, and other multimedia devices. This paper presents and discusses the results of experiments involving continuous periodic noise discovered during flight experiments with a data logger mounted on a Japanese pheasant from 2012 to 2015. A brief summary is given as the below: 1. Magnet and Hall sensor sewn to the left and right chest walls, bipolar electrocardiograms between the thoracic walls, posterior thoracic air sac pressure, angular velocity sensors sewn on the back and hips, and optical reflection of LEDs (blue and green) from the skin of the hips allow observation of periodic vibrations(fasciculations) in the waves. No such analysis has been reported before. 2. These fasciculations are presumed to be derived from muscle to maintain and control air sac pressure. 3. Since each muscle fiber is spatially Gaussian distributed from the sympathetic nerve, the envelope is assumed to plot a Gaussian curve. 4. Since avian trunk muscles contract periodically at all time, we assume that the sympathetic nerve dominates in their control. 5. The technique of sewing a magnet to the thoracic wall and measuring the strength of the magnetic field with a Hall sensor can be applied to screen for early stage of avian influenza, with a sensor attached to the chicken enclosure.

Prevalence of major legal communicable diseases in chickens and ducks, which had occurred in Jeonbuk province from year 2004 to 2008. Total 283 farms 1,419,244 chickens and ducks have been affected by avian diseases. Specifically, fowl typhoid (FT) occurred in 92 farms 416,600 chickens, Marek's disease (MD) in 45 farms 145,563, duck virus hepatitis (DVH) in 31 farms 199,200, infectious bursal disease (IBD) in 27 farms 113,220, infectious bronchitis (IB) in 27 farms 280,300, low pathogenic avian influenza (LPAI) in 26 farms 78,495, avian mycoplasmosis in 16 farms 103,774, Newcastle disease (ND) occurred in 11 farms 61,052, avian encephalomyelitis (AE) in 7 farms 21,000, Pullorum disease (PD) occurred in 1 farm 40. According to total analysis about major legal communicable diseases, 1 species of first-class legal communicable diseases have occurred, 3 species of second-class and 6 species of third-class all adding up to 10 species. In the first-class diseases, Newcastle disease have occurred. Pullorum and fowl typhoid, duck virus hepatitis in the second-class have occurred and as third-class diseases, Marek's disease, Infectious bursal disease, Infectious bronchitis, avian mycoplasmosis, avian encephalomyelitis, low pathogenic avian influenza have occurred.

조류인플루엔자 바이러스 H7 subtype에 속하는 바이러스 중 일부는 가금류에 감염할 경우 고병원성이 발휘된다. 또 H7 아형 AIV중 일부는 사람에 감염하여 사망 등을 유발할 수도 있다. 본 연구는 야생조류로부터 분리된 H7 아형 조류인플루엔자 바이러스 6주(H7N7 아형 4주, H7N1 아형 2주)를 대상으로 8개 유전자 분절 전체의 염기서열을 분석하여 병원성, 사람 감염 가능성 등 그 특성을 조사하였다. 계통유전학적 분석결과, 국내에서 분리된 H7 아형 분리주들은 8개 유전자(HA, NA, PB2, PB1, PA, NP, M, NS) 모두 Eurasian lineage로 분류되었으나, Eurasian lineage 내에서도 각기 다른 sublineage로 분류되어 유전적 다양성이 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 한국 분리주 6주는 HA 단백질 분절부위 아미노산은 두 종류(PEIPKGR 및 PELPKGR)의 motif를 가지고 있었으나, 모두 저병원성 바이러스 특성을 가지고 있었다. 숙주세포 결합 특이성과 관련 있는 HA 단백질 receptor-binding site를 분석한 결과, 한국 분리주 모두는 사람 세포 수용체 결합특이성보다는 조류 세포 수용체 결합 특이성을 가지는 것으로 나타났다. 사람 감염 가능성을 높게 하는 부위에서의 아미노산 치환(PB2 단백질의 E627K 및 PB1단백질의 I368V)도 나타나지 않았고, 또한 NA stalk region에서의 결손도 관찰되지 않았다. 이상의 결과를 미루어 볼 때 한국 야생조류에서 분리된 H7 아형 6주 모두는 저병원성 바이러스로 최근 중국에서 사람 감염이 나타나고 있는 H7N9 바이러스와는 유전적으로 다른 계열의 바이러스인 것으로 판단된다.

가금산업에서 전염성 질병은 농장의 생산성에 악영향을 미치는 중요한 요인이다. 그 중 저병원성 조류인플루엔자는 산란율과 증체율에 영향을 준다. 본 연구에서는 육계에서 저병원성 조류인플루엔자 감염시 혈청 단백질 및 사이토카인의 변화 양상을 조사하였다. 1일령의 육계를 1주령부터 4주령까지 각 주령마다 저병원성 조류인플루엔자를 공격 접종 후 혈중 chDBP, Chicken Ovotransferrin, chIL-1β, chIL-6, chIFN-γ의 양을 비교하였다. 어린 주령에 저병원성 조류인플루엔자를 공격접종한 그룹에서는 4주령에 음성대조군과 비교해 chIL-1β, chIL-6가 유의성 있는 낮은 값을 보이는 것을 확인하였다. 추가적인 연구를 통하여 chIL-1β, chIL-6가 질병의 경과를 확인할 수 있는 보조적인 감염 지표로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Influenza viruses that cause recurrent seasonal epidemics to humans can be controlled with vaccine and antiviral therapy. However, the medical treatments often exhibit limited efficacy in the elderly or immunosuppressed individuals. In these cases, daily uptake of probiotics may be an option to bring in health benefits against influenza. Here, we demonstrate the effects of probiotics Lactobacillus plantarum (Lp) and Leuconostoc mesenteroides (Lm) against seasonal and avian influenza viruses. As assessed by the plaque size reduction of human H1N1 and avian influenza H7N9 viruses, including green fluorescent protein-tagged H1N1 strain in cells, the selected Lp and Lm strains restrained viral replication in mouse lungs with statistical significance. Against lethal viral challenge, the Lp and Lm strains exhibited their beneficial effects by increasing the mean days and rates of survival of the infected mice. These results suggest that, despite rather narrow ranges of protective efficacy, the dietary supplement of Lactobacillus and Leuconostoc probiotics may promote health benefits against influenza.
