To investigate the potential transmission of subtype H3 influenza virus to cats, a serological survey was carried out in South Korea. Serum samples (n=1027) were obtained from 809 pet cats and 218 domesticated cats living in urban colonies (D-cats) from 2008 to 2010, and tested using an influenza anti-nucleoprotein (NP)-specific enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and the haemagglutination inhibition (HI) test, which was recommended by the World Organization for Animal Health. Anti-influenza virus antibodies were detected in 3.12% and 2.43% of cat sera tested using the NP-specific ELISA and HI test, respectively. Anti-H3 antibodies were also identified when the HI assay was used for influenza virus serotyping. These data may indicate the sporadic transmission of subtype H3 influenza virus from other infected species to cats in South Korea.
为调查H3亚型流感病毒向猫的潜在传播情况,韩国开展了一项血清学调查。2008年至2010年期间,从809只宠物猫和218只生活在城市群落的家猫(D猫)中采集了血清样本(n = 1027),并使用流感抗核蛋白(NP)特异性酶联免疫吸附测定(ELISA)以及世界动物卫生组织推荐的血凝抑制(HI)试验进行检测。分别使用NP特异性ELISA和HI试验检测的猫血清中,有3.12%和2.43%检测到抗流感病毒抗体。当使用HI试验进行流感病毒血清分型时,也鉴定出了抗H3抗体。这些数据可能表明韩国存在H3亚型流感病毒从其他受感染物种向猫的零星传播。
