Abstract
The present study was conducted to monitor wild birds based on the concern that they could disseminate avian influenza virus (AIV) between Mongolia and Korea, which shares the same migratory flyway. Of 1,528 fecal samples analyzed, 21 low-pathogenic AIV were isolated from 2007 to 2009. Nineteen AIV-positive fecal samples were identified as Anseriformes by DNA bar coding. The most frequently isolated subtype was H3 (61.9%), and the most prevalent hemagglutinin/neuraminidase combination was H3N8 (52.4%). Phylogenetic analysis was performed to assess their genetic relationships with those of domestic poultry and wild birds in Korea. The H3 and H7 surface genes belonged to the Eurasian lineage and clustered together in a group with Korean wild birds and poultry. Most N8 genes clustered phylogenetically with viruses isolated in Eurasia, whereas 1 of the Mongolian viruses and some Korean viruses belonged to the North American lineage. The polymerase acidic protein of the internal gene was not distinguishable from the H5N1 highly pathogenic AIV of the goose/Guangdong/1/1996 (Gs/Gd)-like virus. Our study suggests that Mongolian AIV isolates have evolved with genetically multiple genotypes and are closely related to those of AIV in poultry as well as in wild birds in Korea.
