Abstract
-
Since 2003, highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) virus
outbreaks have occurred five times in Korea, with four HPAI
H5N1 outbreaks and one HPAI H5N8 outbreak. Migratory
birds have been suggested to be the first source of HPAI in
Korea. Here, we surveyed migratory wild birds for the presence
of AI and compared regional AI prevalence in wild
birds from September 2012 to April 2014 for birds having
migratory pathways in South Korea. Finally, we investigated
the prevalence of AI in migratory birds before and after HPAI
H5N8 outbreaks. Overall, we captured 1617 migratory wild
birds, while 18,817 feces samples and 74 dead birds were collected
from major wild bird habitats. A total of 21 HPAI viruses
were isolated from dead birds, and 86 low pathogenic
AI (LPAI) viruses were isolated from captured birds and
from feces samples. Spatiotemporal distribution analysis revealed
that AI viruses were spread southward until December,
but tended to shift north after January, consistent with
the movement of migratory birds in South Korea. Furthermore,
we found that LPAI virus prevalences within wild birds
were notably higher in 2013?014 than the previous prevalence
during the northward migration season. The data from
our study demonstrate the importance of the surveillance of
AI in wild birds. Future studies including in-depth genetic
analysis in combination with evaluation of the movement
and ecology of migratory birds might help us to bridge the
gaps in our knowledge and better explain, predict, and ultimately
prevent future HPAI outbreaks.

Abstract
-
The threat of a highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5N1 virus causing the next pandemic remains a major concern. In this study, we evaluated the immunogenicity and efficacy of an inactivated whole-virus H5N1 pre-pandemic vaccine (MG1109) formulated by Green Cross Co., Ltd containing the hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA) genes of the clade 1 A/Vietnam/1194/04 virus in the backbone of A/Puerto Rico/8/34 (RgVietNam/04xPR8/34). Administration of the MG1109 vaccine (2-doses) in mice and ferrets elicited high HI and SN titers in a dose-dependent manner against the homologous (RgVietNam/04xPR8/34) and various heterologous H5N1 strains, (RgKor/W149/06xPR8/34, RgCambodia/04xPR8/34, RgGuangxi/05xPR8/34), including a heterosubtypic H5N2 (A/Aquatic bird/orea/W81/05) virus. However, efficient cross-reactivity was not observed against heterosubtypic H9N2 (A/Ck/Korea/H0802/08) and H1N1 (PR/8/34) viruses. Mice immunized with 1.9 μg HA/dose of MG1109 were completely protected from lethal challenge with heterologous wild-type HPAI H5N1 A/EM/Korea/W149/06 (clade 2.2) and mouse-adapted H5N2 viruses. Furthermore, ferrets administered at least 3.8 μg HA/dose efficiently suppressed virus growth in the upper respiratory tract and lungs. Vaccinated mice and ferrets also demonstrated attenuation of clinical disease signs and limited virus spread to other organs. Thus, this vaccine provided immunogenic responses in mouse and ferret models even against challenge with heterologous HPAI H5N1 and H5N2 viruses. Since the specific strain of HPAI H5N1 virus that would potentially cause the next outbreak is unknown, pre-pandemic vaccine preparation that could provide crossprotection against various H5 strains could be a useful approach in the selection of promising candidate vaccines in the future.
