Avian influenza viruses (AIVs) are known to cross species barriers, and emergent highly pathogenic H5N6 AIVs pose a serious threat to human health and the poultry industry. Here, we serially passaged an H5N6 virus 10 times in BALB/c mice. The pathogenicity of the wild-type 6D2 (WT-6D2) and mammal-adapted 6D2 strain (MA-6D2) were compared. The viral titer in multiple organs and the death rate for MA-6D2 were significantly higher than for WT-6D2. We provide evidence that the mutations HA A150V, NA R143K and G147E, PB2 E627K, and PA A343T may be important for adaptation of H5N6 AIVs to mammals.
已知禽流感病毒(AIVs)会跨越物种屏障,新出现的高致病性H5N6 AIVs对人类健康和家禽业构成严重威胁。在此,我们在BALB/c小鼠中对一株H5N6病毒连续传代10次。比较了野生型6D2(WT-6D2)和适应哺乳动物的6D2毒株(MA-6D2)的致病性。MA-6D2在多个器官中的病毒滴度和死亡率显著高于WT-6D2。我们提供的证据表明,HA A150V、NA R143K和G147E、PB2 E627K以及PA A343T这些突变可能对H5N6 AIVs适应哺乳动物很重要。
