Avian influenza A viruses (AIVs) pose a significant pandemic threat due to their cross-species transmission potential. However, AIV surveillance at the critical "migratory birds-poultry-exposed population" interface remains limited. Between 2021 and 2024, we implemented a prospective One Health surveillance program around Nansi Lake, monitoring AIVs in migratory birds, poultry, and environmental samples, as well as serological investigations against representative AIVs among migratory birds or poultry-exposed subjects. AIVs were detected in 2.1% (30/1417) of migratory bird samples and 10.2% (100/978) of poultry samples. Among these, we identified ten highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5 subtype viruses, one HPAI H7N9 virus, and five low pathogenic avian influenza (LPAI) H9N2 viruses. Phylogenetic analysis revealed evidence of frequent genomic reassortment events involving H5 subtype viruses among migratory birds, poultry, and humans. Serological investigation also suggested that both migratory birds and the poultry-exposed population had a higher risk of getting AIV infection than the general control population, especially against the H9N2 virus. Our study emphasizes the importance of strengthening continuous prospective surveillance of AIVs among migratory birds, poultry, and their exposed individuals to prevent and control potential outbreaks.
甲型禽流感病毒(AIV)因其跨物种传播潜力而构成重大的大流行威胁。然而,在关键的“候鸟-家禽-接触人群”界面上的禽流感病毒监测仍然有限。在2021年至2024年期间,我们在南四湖周边实施了一项前瞻性的一体化健康监测计划,监测候鸟、家禽和环境样本中的禽流感病毒,以及对候鸟或接触家禽的人群进行针对代表性禽流感病毒的血清学调查。在2.1%(30/1417)的候鸟样本和10.2%(100/978)的家禽样本中检测到了禽流感病毒。其中,我们鉴定出10株高致病性禽流感(HPAI)H5亚型病毒、1株HPAI H7N9病毒和5株低致病性禽流感(LPAI)H9N2病毒。系统发育分析揭示了在候鸟、家禽和人类中涉及H5亚型病毒的频繁基因组重配事件的证据。血清学调查还表明,候鸟和接触家禽的人群比一般对照人群感染禽流感病毒的风险更高,尤其是针对H9N2病毒。我们的研究强调了加强对候鸟、家禽及其接触个体进行禽流感病毒持续前瞻性监测以预防和控制潜在疫情的重要性。
