Abstract AR
منذ 1996 بدأ ظهور فيروس أنفلونزا الطيور في جنوب شرق آسيا و انتشار هذا المرض في 65 دول و منها مصر.
و بالرغم من ذلك وجد أن الخنازير تلعب دور وبائي في انتشار مرض أنفلونزا الطيور للإنسان و لكن مع وجود ندرة في المعلومات عن وبائية مرض أنفلونزا الطيور في الخنازير لذلك أجريت هذه الدراسة لمعرفة مدى انتشار مرض أنفلونزا الطيور في الخنازير المصرية.
و لقد تم تجميع عدد 235 سيرم من الخنازير و فحصها باستخدام الطرق السيرولوجية و هي اختبار التلازن الدموي.
و وجد أن 26 عينة سيرم تعطي نتائج إيجابية ضد انتيجين أنفلونزا الطيور المحلي (H5N1).
لذلك تعتبر هذه الدراسة من أولى الدراسات التي نشرت عن مدى انتشار مرض أنفلونزا الطيور في الخنازير.
Abstract EN
Since 1996 a highly pathogenic H5N1 avian influenza virus is causing outbreaks in poultry.
The disease was started in Southeast Asia and spread later to at least 65 countries worldwide involving Egypt.
Although pigs play an important epidemiological and ecological role in adaptation of the avian influenza virus to bind to human cell receptors and act as mixing vehicles during co-infection, yet very little data are available about natural infections with avian influenza virus in swine.
In the present work the incidence of H5N1 infection among Egyptian pigs was investigated.
Serum samples were collected from 235 pigs and examined using Hemagglutination Inhibition Test (HI) where 26 serum samples yielded positive results against the local H5N1 antigen.
The present work could be considered the first report of avian influenza natural infections among swine outside Southeast Asia.
