이 연구는 2018년도 정부(농림축산식품부)의 재원으로 농림식품기술기획평가원의 지원을 받아 수행된 연구이다. 고병원성 조류인플루엔자(Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza, HPAI)는 해외로부터 철새를 통해 유입되고 있으나 어떤 경로를 통해 농가에 확산하는지 정확히 밝혀진 바 없다. 그리고 발생 농가에서 유입되는 농가 간의 전이도 차량이 주요 원인이라고 추정할 뿐, 전파 주요 원인이 정확히 밝혀진 것은 아니다. 하지만 가장 빈번하게 농가에 방문하는 차량의 방문유형이 가축 운반 및 사료 운반과 같은 농가와 시설 간의 방문이기 때문에 발생 농가에 들른 차량과 시설의 관계를 분석할 필요가 있다. 본 논문 연구에서는 농림축산검역본부에서 제공하는 KAHIS(Korea Animal Health Integrated System) 데이터를 기반으로, HPAI Virus 전이의 주요 원인을 확인하고자 한다.

Avian influenza viruses (AIV) have been isolated from a wide range of domestic and wild birds. Wild birds, predominantly ducks, geese and gulls form the reservoir of AIV in nature. The viruses in wild bird populations are a potential source of widespread infections in poultry. Active surveillance for AIV infection provides information regarding AIV distribution, and global AIV surveillance can play a key role in the early recognition of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI). Since 2003 in Korea, there have been four H5N1 HPAI outbreaks caused by clade 2.5, 2.2 and 2.3.2. Therefore, improvement of AIV surveillance strategy is required to detect HPAI viruses effectively. This article deals with the major events establishing the role of wild birds in the natural history of influenza in Korea. We highlighted the need for continuous surveillance in wild birds and characterization of these viruses to understand AIV epidemiology and host ecology in Korea.

Among the 16 hemagglutinin (HA) subtypes of avian influenza virus (AIV), only the H5 and H7 subtypes have caused highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) in poultry. However, most H5 or H7 subtype viruses are categorized as low pathogenic avian influenza (LPAI). Some AIVs, including the H5 and H7 HPAI viruses, have shown the ability to infect humans directly. In this study, we describe the biological and molecular characterization of an H5N3 AIV (SBD/KR/KNU SYG06/06) isolated from spot-billed duck (Anas poecilorhyncha) in Korea. A phylogenetic analysis of the eight viral genes showed that the SBD/KR/KNU SYG06/06 isolate belongs to the Eurasian lineage and that the SBD/KR/KNU SYG06/06 isolate was clearly different from HPAI H5N1 strains, including human isolates and the Italian HPAI H5N2 strains. Additionally, no relationship was found between SBD/KR/KNU SYG06/06 and the Korean HPAI H5N1 isolates. The SBD/KR/ KNU SYG06/06 isolate had avian specific receptor binding site residues in the HA protein and the four C-terminal amino acids in the NS1 protein. The HA protein of the SBD/KR/KNU SYG06/06 isolate exhibited the typical LPAI motif at the cleavage site and this virus produced no cytopathic effects in MDCK cells without trypsin. Given these results, we suggest that the H5N3 AIV isolated from the spot-billed duck should be considered an LPAI virus and should have no pathogenic effect in humans.

Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) occurred in the breeder duck farms in Jeonbuk of in Korea on January to February 2014. Clinically, the most ducks showed various signs from depression, dropped egg production and feed consumption to even, death. The most commonly gross changes were hepatomegaly, splenomegaly, petechial and ecchymotic hemorrhage on the liver surface, a white stripe on the cardiac muscle, multifocal hemorrhagic foci in pancreas, and severely hemorrhagic embryos. The most significant signs of H5N8 virus was supposed to specific on ducks. The viral antigen was mainly detected in the endothelium of blood vessels of various organs and tissues, peripheral nerves, and neuronal cells. Based on the above results, we identified that HPAI H5N8 induced systemic infection in the adult breeder ducks.

Highly pathogenic avian influenza could not be identified visually. It takes time to identify the symptoms by its incubation period. Without taking a quick step, the diffusion area of HPAI has dramatically increased, the extent of damage becomes bigger. In network research, the algorithm of finding the central node on the network applied to various diffusion of epidemic problems, was used in control system of tracing the diffusion path, blocking central nodes. This study tried to make the diffusion of HPAI network model for the crowded farms area, and reduce the diffusion rate to control the high-risk farms.

Avian influenza(AI) is an epizootic disease of variable severity caused by type A influenza viruses of the orthomyxovirus group. Chickens were the most frequently affected avian species with AI viruses. There were many outbreaks of fowl plague, now known as highly pathogenic AI(HP AI), throughout the world since Perroncito described the fowl plague in 1978 in Italy. In recent years HPAI viruses of different serotypes such as H5, H7 and H9 has been isolated from humans on several occasions either related with outbreak of HPAI in birds or not. In 1997, one of the most noteworthy events in AI history was the human mortality with H5N1 HPAI virus infection in Hong Kong. Six persons of total 18 persons with clinical signs of influenza were died. Recently the human cases with mortality related with HP AI outbreaks in poultry industry has been increased such as outbreaks of HP AI throughout Asia countries including Korea, Japan, China, Vietnam, Thailand and others in 2003. Although these outbreaks revealed the capable of spreading from birds to human, the capability for transmission between people was not clear. Therefore, this report will review the possibility of HP AI infection in human associated with HPAI outbreak in poultry industry.

Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) viruses have caused severe respiratory disease and death in poultry and human beings. Although most of the avian influenza viruses (AIVs) are of low pathogenicity and cause mild infections in birds, some subtypes including hemagglutinin H5 and H7 subtype cause HPAI. Therefore, sensitive and accurate subtyping of AIV is important to prepare and prevent for the spread of HPAI. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) can analyze the full-length sequence information of entire AIV genome at once, so this technology is becoming a more common in detecting AIVs and predicting subtypes. However, an analysis pipeline of NGS-based AIV sequencing data, including AIV subtyping, has not yet been established. Here, in order to support the pre-processing of NGS data and its interpretation, we developed a user-friendly tool, named prediction of avian influenza virus subtype (PAIVS). PAIVS has multiple functions that support the pre-processing of NGS data, reference-guided AIV subtyping, de novo assembly, variant calling and identifying the closest full-length sequences by BLAST, and provide the graphical summary to the end users.

지리정보시스템(Geographic Information System: 이하 GIS)은 고병원성조류인플루엔자(Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza: 이하 HPAI)의 예찰, 역학조사, 감염농장 관리, 예방적 살처분 실시, 청정화 진행 등 질병관리를 위한 전 과정에서 공간 위치정보의 관리와 표현 그리고 의사결정을 위한 도구로 활용될 수 있다. 우리나라에서도 2010-2011년 구제역 발생으로 큰 피해를 본 이후, GIS와 연계된 국가동물방역통합시스템(Korea Animal Health Integrated System: 이하 KAHIS)를 구축하여 가축전염병 관리를 시행하고 있다. 그러나 농장 및 축산관련 시설과 차량에 대한 관리 및 모니터링 수준의 KAHIS 방역통합시스템은 HPAI 예찰 및 방역에 역부족이다. 따라서 KAHIS시스템과 더불어 효율적 가축질병(HPAI) 관리를 위하여 본 연구를 실시하였다. 본 연구에서는 2014년 기준 HPAI 감염농장의 특성을 바탕으로 차후 HPAI 감염 가능 농장을 예측하였다. HPAI 감염농장 특징 분석을 위하여 권역별 HPAI-양성농장의 개수와 밀도 및 가금사육 두수를 조사하였다. 조사결과 HPAI-양성농장의 82.4%가 전라지역과 충청지역에 분포하고 있었다. 위 두 지역에 위치한 HPAI-양성농장(충청지역: $4.2{\pm}5.6$, 전라지역: $2.2{\pm}1.1$)은 HPAI-음성농장(충청지역: $1.8{\pm}1.5$, 전라지역: $1.7{\pm}0.7$)에 비하여 통계적으로 높은 밀도값을 보여주었다. 또한 HPAI-양성농장의 92.4%에서 가금두수 최소 6,537에서 최대 24,250를 사육하고 있었다. 위의 HPAI 감염농장 특징은 GIS Multiple Ring Butter(MRB) 기능을 이용하여 차후 HPAI 감염 가능 농장을 예측하는데 사용되었다. 분석결과 철새도래지 반경 30km(386개)와 35km(407개) 내 위치한 HPAI-양성농장의 수는 HPAI 확산 후 전국 감염농장(429개)과 유사한 값을 보여주었다. 또한 철새도래지 반경 30km 내 위치한 일반가금농장 중 하천 반경 1-1.5km와 지방도로 반경 1km에 중첩되는 지역에 위치한 일반가금농장의 개수(324-409개) 및 지리적 위치는 2014년 HPAI-양성농장의 개수(386개)와 90.0% 그리고 지리적 위치와 54.8%의 유사성을 보였다. 본 연구는 철새도래지의 위치정보와 가금농장의 위치 및 사육가금두수의 정보를 토대로 GIS분석을 통하여 앞으로 발생할 HPAI 발생농장에 대한 추이를 판단할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

The highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) virus triggers infectious diseases, resulting in pulmonary damage and high mortality in domestic poultry worldwide. This study aimed to analyze miRNA expression profiles after infection with the HPAI H5N1 virus in resistant and susceptible lines of Ri chickens.For this purpose, resistant and susceptible lines of Vietnamese Ri chicken were used based on the A/G allele of Mx and BF2 genes. These genes are responsible for innate antiviral activity and were selected to determine differentially expressed (DE) miRNAs in HPAI-infected chicken lines using small RNA sequencing. A total of 44 miRNAs were DE after 3 days of infection with the H5N1 virus. Computational program analysis indicated the candidate target genes for DE miRNAs to possess significant functions related to cytokines, chemokines, MAPK signaling pathway, ErBb signaling pathway, and Wnt signaling pathway. Several DE miRNA-mRNA matches were suggested to play crucial roles in mediating immune functions against viral evasion. These results revealed the potential regulatory roles of miRNAs in the immune response of the two Ri chicken lines against HPAI H5N1 virus infection in the lungs.
