Genetic Analysis of the 2019 Swine H1N2 Influenza Virus Isolated in Korean Pigs and Its Infectivity in Mice

국문 초록 (Abstract)

돼지인플루엔자는 동물에서 사람에게 감염할 수 있는 인수공통전염병이다. 우리는 2019년 한국 돼지농장에서 호흡기 증상을 보이는 돼지에서 3주의 H1N2형 인플루엔자바이러스를 분리하였다. 유전자 분석결과, 이들 바이러스의 8개 유전자 중 PA 및 NP 유전자는 2009 대유행 H1N1 인플루엔자 유래였고, 나머지 유전자는 돼지에 유행하는 H3N2 및 H1N2 인플루엔자 유래 유전자를 가진 재조합 바이러스 이었다. 분리된 H1N2 바이러스를 마우스에 접종한 결과, 마우스는 17% 정도 체중이 감소하였고, 염증 세포들이 침윤한 간질성 폐렴 증상을 보였다.

Influenza A viruses are circulating in a variety of hosts, including humans, pigs, and poultry. Swine influenza virus is a zoonotic pathogen that can be readily transmitted to humans. The influenza viruses of the 2009 H1N1 pandemic were derived from swine influenza viruses, and it has been suggested that the 1957 H2N2 pandemic and the 1968 H3N2 pandemic both originated in pigs. Pigs are regarded as a mixing vessel in the creation of novel influenza viruses since they are readily infected with human and avian influenza viruses. We isolated three novel H1N2 influenza viruses from pigs showing respiratory symptoms on a Korean farm in 2019. These viruses were reassortants, containing PA and NP genes from those of the 2009 H1N1 influenza virus in addition to PB2, PB1, HA, NA, M, and NS genes from those of triple-reassortant swine H3N2 and classical swine H1N2 influenza viruses circulating in Korean pigs. Mice infected with the isolated H1N2 influenza virus lost up to 17% body weight and exhibited interstitial pneumonia involving infiltration of many inflammatory cells. Results suggest that close surveillance to detect emerging influenza viruses in pigs is necessary for the health of both pigs and humans.
