Highlights
•Monitoring of influenza is carried out in Western Siberia in 2008–2012.
•Strains circulating before, during and after pandemic of 2009 were isolated.
•Using HI and MN assays we detected human sera positive to A/H5N1.
Abstract
Western Siberia is of great importance in ecology and epidemiology of influenza. This territory is nesting area for great amount of bird species. Territorial relations of Western Siberian birds that are established during seasonal migration are extremely wide since this region is an intersection point of bird migration flows wintering in different regions of the world: Europe, Africa, Middle East, Central Asia, Hindustan, and South East Asia. Reassortant influenza viruses that can cause outbreak among population may emerge in Western Siberia with high probability. Thus, it is extremely important to carry out widespread study of circulated viruses, their molecular biological properties, phylogenetic links in this region, as well as herd immunity to influenza virus serotypes with epidemic potential.
Table 1.
HI and MN of human sera against A/H5N1. 2282 blood sera were collected in Western Siberia where outbreaks among birds caused by A/H5N1 were registered in 2005–2007. 350 samples were collected from people in KMAA.
28 human sera from KMAA and 2 from Novosibirsk region were positive in HI test against A/H5 (titer ⩾40) and 8 human sera from KMAA were positive in MN against A/H5N1 (titer ⩾80).
