Epidemiological monitoring of avian influenza in the Republic of Crimea in 2019–2020

The paper presents results of avian influenza epidemiological monitoring in the Republic of Crimea in 2019–2020. The attention was focused on the study of water basins of the Azov and Black Seas, the Sivash Lagoon and freshwater lakes in the Feodosia Urban Okrug, Leninsky, Sovetsky, Nizhnegorsky, Ch...

description The paper presents results of avian influenza epidemiological monitoring in the Republic of Crimea in 2019–2020. The attention was focused on the study of water basins of the Azov and Black Seas, the Sivash Lagoon and freshwater lakes in the Feodosia Urban Okrug, Leninsky, Sovetsky, Nizhnegorsky, Chernomorsky and Saksky Raions to detect the avian influenza virus circulation. Examination of the above mentioned areas showed that some freshwater reservoirs became shallow and dry, and aquatic vegetation degraded. The natural biotope analysis conducted in 2019 and 2020 showed a decreased number of semiaquatic wild birds. The pathological material was sampled from semiaquatic and migratory wild birds, as well as from poultry kept in poultry farms and backyards. The collected samples were tested using real-time RT-PCR. In 2019, the AIV type A (H9) genome was detected in one fecal sample taken from wild birds near Kuchuk-Adzhigol Lake in Feodosia Urban Okrug. The AIV type A (H5) genome was detected in 2020 during laboratory testing of pathological material taken from the remains of a mute swan within the shoreline of a freshwater lake near the Ermakovo settlement of the Dzhankoysky Raion. The genetic analysis was performed in the FGBI “ARRIAH” (Vladimir), and the N8 subtype neuraminidase of the influenza virus isolate was determined. The comparative genetic analysis of 258 bp nucleic acid sequences of the AIV H gene fragment showed that the identified isolate belongs to the Asian genetic lineage of highly pathogenic AIV subtype H5 (clade 2.3.4.4) associated with the epidemic spread in Asia, Europe, the Middle East and Africa in 2016–2020.
