1 Molecular diagnosis of infectious bronchitis: recent developments Richard Currie

2 The infectious bronchitis virus RNA (nucleic acid) on the inside the genetic finger print Proteins (S1 and S2 spike proteins) on the outside blood tests detect antibodies made against these

3 By looking at the S1 gene and protein, we can fingerprint the virus

4 4/91 Field virus

5 4/91 Field virus nucleic acid sequence XXXX SAMPLE SEQUENCE XXXX SAMPLE SEQUENCE

6 Key point Genetic fingerprints allow us to differentiate viruses from one another We can CLEARLY diagnose different 793B vaccine strains They are not the same They behave differently We can differentiate vaccines from field viruses

7 The use of amino acid sequence to predict epitopes in the hypervariable region of the S1 protein An epitope is the major antigenic determinant of the virus: it s what antibodies bind to

8 The infectious bronchitis virus By understanding the genetic finger print of the live IB vaccines we have, we can differentiate field viruses from vaccine viruses We can determine if the genetic finger print of the vaccine virus changes Is it stable? Is it persistent? Does it colonise the farm and displace field viruses? Which vaccine strain given becomes dominant on-farm? Diversity of genetic finger prints of field viruses can be used to justify the use of combined Ma5 plus 4/91 protectotype vaccination strategies to generate the broadest protection possible

9 The x-ovo diagnostic process Real time PCR Is IB present YES or NO How much is present? Sequencing PCR and amino acid alignments Differentiation of vaccines from field viruses Interpretation, reporting and recommendations

43 What happens when an incomplete dose of vaccine received by the chicken? With 4/91 there is a measurable effect regarding tissue distribution

44 Kidney swabs: Fractional dose versus full dose 4/91: Germany and the UK Drinking water vaccination

45 Comments The slide shows results from 4/91 vaccinated flocks All flocks are fractional dose unless stated D7, D21 and D35 4/91 positive results are spray vaccinated flocks from the UK One full dose 4/91 vaccinated flock in Germany (red circle) tested negative this was drinking water vaccinated and hence this route of administration, and hence administration failure may explain the negative finding In general, fraction dose vaccination does not lead to colonisation of the kidney following vaccination, a finding that would be expected with full dose spray vaccination Hence when clinical problems are found, careful auditing of vaccination to ensure the flock is exposed to a full dose of vaccine, is advised

46 Summary The multiplication of genetic take populations of vaccine viruses can be measured Dominance of the 4/91 strain is expected in the majority of instances Failure to detect the 4/91 strain is a trigger for vaccination application audits and specific sampling of the kidney 7-10 post vaccination to check for 4/91 vaccine replication Genetic and amino acid variation introduction to flocks vaccinated with Arkansas strains has been demonstrated in the UK similar to that seen in the USA Recombinant Ark 491 field viruses have been identified in flocks with clinical egg drop in the UK Correct identification of vaccine and vaccine origin strains is critical to determine correct vaccination strategies

47 Use of amino acid profiles to investigate epidemiology of IB variants that are not homologous with vaccine virus take populations

48 Findings The following graphs show the location and number of amino acid changes that occur on the S1 protein for 4/91, Mass and D274 genotypes Sample sets are subdivided into those obtained from young birds (<18 weeks of age) and laying birds (>18 weeks of age) In most amino acid positions, amino acid changes are very variable. Occasionally they are not.

52 Summary 4/91 and Mass field viruses observed in EMEA from show extensive changes relative to the take population of the respective vaccines The major incidence is seen in flocks over 18 weeks of age Introductions in broiler flocks show viruses with much fewer amino acid substitutions This observation is consistent with the introduction of amino acid variation during the course of field infections. The longer the field virus is present in a flock, the greater the amino acid variation that is seen These genotypes act as true field viruses

53 Summary D274 positives are present in relatively minor quantities The amino acid variation in D274 positives is very small 50% of all amino acid substitutions featured a single Histidine Tyrosine mutation at position 304. The mutation is not part of any defined epitope hence of minor immunological relevance Of this specific mutation, 70% of observations occurred in flocks known to be vaccinated with D274 plus H120 live vaccine

54 Summary The most probable diagnosis of the Histidine Tyrosine virus is therefore D274 vaccine origin The finding does not suggest in any way that the D274 strain is reverting to virulence This finding gives further support for the lack of significant D274 field challenge in the EMEA The importance of this finding relates to the prevention of the vaccinating against vaccine strategy

55 Vaccinate against true field viruses Advanced next generation sequencing techniques (NGS) Most field viruses are QX and 4/91 genotypes - Germany Allow clear differentiation of vaccines from field viruses When applied to field outbreaks, can clarify the apparent large number of field viruses found and allow their re-classification In the case of QX, demonstrates the over diagnosis of QX field viruses by around 50% - GERMAN EXAMPLE OPPOSITE % Homology 01/01/ /10/2013 4/91 CR88 D274 H120 M41 Ma5 QX Neg SU 100% <100% Homology Mismatches <100% Homology No Mismatches SU% <100% Homology Vaccine Sub Population No of Submissions - 211

56 QX vaccine in its minor forms is less prevalent in flocks where 4/91 is also given Vaccine origin

57 QX vaccine in its minor forms is more prevalent in flocks where 4/91 is not given Vaccine origin

58 It is normal for live IB vaccines to spread to flocks not vaccinated directly QX vaccine origin positives occur in nonvaccinated flocks as well as QX vaccinated flocks

59 Prevalence of IB vaccines in non vaccinated flocks

60 Summary The presence in the field of minority point mutations present in live QX vaccine vials has been demonstrated by NGS sequencing The mutations are present in QX vaccinated flocks at times where a registered duration of immunity is present. If the viruses were field viruses, the vaccine would be predicted to be protective The mutations are present in the field in countries that use the largest quantities of QX vaccine and absent from countries where usage is minor. The viruses are found in the presence and the absence of live QX vaccine.

61 Summary Statistical analysis of the sequences obtained indicates the present of section pressure (consistent with the viruses being of vaccine origin) for positions 429 and 485 (partial sequence numbering)/ codons 117 and 131 (full sequence numbering) The consequences of this finding are the over diagnosis of QX field viruses that should be reclassified as vaccine origin viruses. In Belgium and Germany this is occurring in around 50% of cases of a QX diagnosis The findings do not relate in any way to the presence or absence of a reversion to virulence

62 Conclusion Molecular analysis of clinical samples for the presence of IB can Diagnose the presence of field strains relative to live vaccine strains. Demonstrate differences in behaviour between the major viral genotypes. Identify amino acid changes that are associated with clinical disease. Suggest the application of Protectotype vaccination programmes when field viruses with amino acid characteristics the diverge greatly from vaccine strains are present, thus leading to epitope changes relative to vaccine strains.

63 Conclusion The use of 4/91 based vaccination programmes results in the population of the flock with 4/91 vaccine strain as the dominant strain on farm that is persistent and consistent from a genetic perspective The use of repeat spray in lay vaccination programmes will ensure the maintenance of significant quantities of vaccine virus RNA throughout the laying period and thus provide significant antigen quantities against which a protective immune response will be generated Flocks in lay are confirmed as the major source of infectious bronchitis field viruses. Thus layer flocks in the vicinity of broiler flocks remain a major risk for the introduction of field virus infections

72 Field virus examples 2013

73 Key question How do we know a field virus is causing disease? This is determined by the appearance of clinical signs. The results give supporting indications of the potential of the virus to be a disease causing agent
