H5N1 Canine Sequence Similar Feline

Recombinomics Commentary
May 23, 2006

The sequence of canine H5N1, A/dog/Thailand/Suphanburi/KU-08/04(H5N1). has been released at GenBank. The 2004 isolate is from Thailand and was initially reported in 2004. However, the report was quickly followed by a statement that the H5N1 positive sample was mislabeled. The May 5, 2006 deposit of the dog sequence confirms H5N1 presence in dogs and extends the number of confirmed mammalian species positive for H5N1. The sequence is similar to 2004 domestic, A/cat/Thailand/KU-02/04(H5N1), and wild cat, A/tiger/Thailand/CU-T7/2004(H5N1) isolates from Thailand, including PB2 E627K, a polymorphism that increases virulence in mice. H5N1 bird flu with PB2 E627K can also cause hind leg paralysis in experimental ferrets and has infected civet cats
?
H5N1 has also been isolated from swine, A/swine/Anhui/2004(H5N1) and there have been reports of a positive stone martin, providing additional evidence for an expanding mammalian host range.

Recently H3N8 has also been isolated from dogs in the United States suggesting another mammalian mixing vessel for H5N1 recombination and reassortment..

No bird flu found in Thailand's lower northeast
NAKHON RATCHASIMA, Sept 27 (TNA) - There was no outbreak of bird flu in Thailand's lower northeastern region after the last outbreak in Nakhon Phanom on August 2, a senior Department of Livestock Development official said Wednesday.
Deputy Director General Chaweewan Leowijuk said the department had campaigned intensively to prevent the spread of bird flu during the past month, and there was no sign of outbreak in the northeast or elsewhere in the country.

She said that although the latest bird flu virus fatality was confirmed in Nong Bua Lam Phu, a northeastern province, it will not be declared a "red-zone" under a special monitoring for bird flu since the latest checks found no outbreak there.

"Since the victim developed the bird flu-like symptoms in August, livestock officials inspected and culled poultry in the vicinity of his home, but found no trace of the virus," she said.

However, department officials will still strictly monitor poultry flocks in Non Bua Lam Phu to prevent any occurance of the virus among poultry, she said.

Ms. Chaweewan confirmed that poultry was culled in Chaiyaphum province recently after native chickens were found dead for unknown reasons in Nong Bua Dang district.

Lab test results will be known in one or two days, she said, to determine whether the birds were sick and had died from virus or not. (TNA)-E003
