1 Asia-Pacific WHO/OIE/FAO Joint Workshop on Surveillance, Prevention and Control of Zoonotic influenza Paro, Bhutan, 30 August 2016 Control of avian influenza and preparedness for pandemic influenza Hiroshi Kida, DVM, PhD, MJA University Professor, Hokkaido University Head, Research Center for Zoonosis Control Head, OIE Reference Laboratory for Animal Influenza Head, WHO Collaborating Centre for Zoonoses Control

2 Control of avian influenza and preparedness for pandemic influenza 1. How do highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses (HPAIVs) and human pandemic influenza virus strains emerge? 2. Why have the H5N1 HPAIV viruses persisted in poultry for 20 years? 3. Why are antigenic variants of different clades circulating in poultry birds? 4. Will the HPAIVs that have returned to migratory birds persist in nature? 5. Does influenza vaccine confer complete protective immunity? 6. How should HPAI be controlled? 7. Will H5N1 HPAIV cause pandemic influenza? 8. Then will H7N9 low pathogenic AIV that appeared in China cause pandemic? 9. Are the measures for the control of seasonal flu satisfactory? 10.How should be prepared for pandemic influenza? To answer to these questions, it is prerequisite to understand Ecology of influenza viruses in nature, birds and mammals; Origin of, perpetuation in nature and evolution of influenza viruses, and mechanisms of the emergence of HPAIVs and pandemic strains in humans.

8 Duck influenza Each of the known subtypes (H1-16, N1-9) of influenza A virus has been isolated from ducks. In ducks, viruses replicate in the colon, being shed with feces in a week, and non-pathogenic. Water-borne fecal-oral transmission Viruses are preserved in frozen water of the lakes, where ducks nest in summer, in winter such as in Siberia, Alaska and Canada. Ducks carry and provide viruses during migration and over-wintering. Influenza viruses circulating in ducks are highly stable antigenically and genetically. Migratory duck is the natural host of influenza A viruses. Kida et al (1980) Infect Immun; (1987) Virology; Ito et al (1995) Arch Virol

17 Vaccine for avian Influenza may prevent manifestation of disease signs and decrease the amount of virus shed, but does not confer protective immunity from infection. Stamping-out policy is recommended for the control of avian influenza. Vaccination was not primarily recommended but later approved as one of the options applied only under DIVA based strategy. Country where vaccine is used is not designated as HPAI-free. leads silent spread of virus.

18 26TH CONFERENCE OF THE OIE REGIONAL COMMISSION FOR ASIA, THE FAR EAST AND OCEANIA Shanghai, People s Republic of China, November 2009 RECOMMENDATION FOR THE CONTROL OF AVIAN INFLUENZA It is considered that; Highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1 virus strains have persisted in domestic poultry for 14 years and antigenic variants have been selected mainly due to the misuse of vaccine. HPAI has been put under control in several countries. Stamping out policy has been the most effective measures for the control HPAI. Vaccine is used in 4 countries where HPAI has not been controlled. Vaccine is used instead of stamping out in 2 countries and in the other 2 countries, basically in addition to stamping out. Sentinel bids are put in the vaccinated poultry population in Viet Nam and not in the other 3 countries where vaccine is used. Compensation for livestock owners is done in most countries in case of stamping out. It is recommended that; Since stamping out is the best and ultimate measure for the control of HPAI, vaccine should be used in addition to, not instead of stamping out when it is used. The OIE should continue and develop standards on animal influenza surveillance, prevention and control. Surveillance of swine flu is crucial in the countries where avian flu has not been controlled.

31 Library of pandemic flu vaccine strain candidates Influenza viruses of 75 combinations of the HA and NA subtypes have been isolated from fecal samples of ducks (black). 69 other combinations have been generated by genetic reassertment procedure in the lab (red).. Test vaccines prepared from H1N1, H5N1, H6N2, H7N7, H7N9 and H9N2 viruses in the library conferred sufficient immune response to protect chickens, mice, and macaques from the challenge with isolates from poultry birds and humans. Thus we have vaccine strains for pandemic influenza. Thus, 2,900 avian influenza viruses of 144 combinations of HA and NA subtypes have been stocked as vaccine strain candidates. Their pathogenicity, antigenicity, genetic information and yield in chicken embryo have been analyzed, databased, and opened for Web site (

32 Prediction of amino acid substitutions on the hemagglutinin molecule of influenza A viruses H3N2 The prediction of antigenic change of influenza A virus has been one of the major public health goals. HA amino acid sequences of 6,806 H3N2 human viruses were analyzed by multidimensional scaling. A mathematical formula on the relative distances were inferred. Retrospective prediction tests were conducted and showed that 70% of actual amino acid substitutions are correctly predicted. Result of prediction for the amino acid substitution on season.

33 How to prepare for pandemic influenza should be based upon how to control seasonal influenza Drastic improvement of seasonal flu vaccine and biological standard Short term goal: 1. Improvement of the immunological potency of seasonal flu vaccines; Clinical evaluation of inactivated vaccine of purified whole virus particles Drastic revision of biological standard 2. Preemptive preparation of vaccine by forestall of antigenic variants on the basis of global surveillance and bioinformatics. Good bye backward selection of vaccine strains. Long term goal: 1. Development of effective and safe mucosal vaccines 2. Development of effective and safe adjuvants Points: 1. Influenza is a typical acute infection. 2. Influenza is not eradicable, every year seasonal influenza must come.

34 Current vaccines for influenza most widely used 1. Whole virus vaccines: purified inactivated viruses 2. Split virus vaccines: purified inactivated virus particles disrupted by detergent 3. Subunit or surface antigen vaccines: the hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA) further enriched from the other components in core 4. Live attenuated virus vaccines: live virus attenuated by reassortment of HA and NA onto cold-adapted master strain Most produced in embryonated eggs, some now in mammalian cell culture

36 Recent focus of attention has been conserved regions in the HA stem for the development of an universal vaccine Impagriazzo, Goudsmit, Wilson et al (2015) A stable trimeric influenza hemagglutinin stem as a broadly protective immunogen. Science 349, Yassine, Okuno, Nabel, Graham et al (2015) Hemagglutinin-stem nanoparticles generate heterosubtypic influenza protection. Nat Med 21, On the basis of the concept of the mechanism of the antigen presentation, molecular structure of vaccine components is not important. Whole inactivated influenza virus particles are the best promising vaccine.

37 All Japan Program of Excellence for the Development and Practical use of Seasonal Influenza Vaccines of Global Standard in Collaboration together with Industries, Universities, Academic Societies and Government Preclinical and clinical studies on seasonal influenza vaccines prepared from the inactivated whole virus particles 1) Each of 5 influenza vaccine producers in Japan participates in the program. 2) Comparison of immunogenicity and safety between whole virus particle vaccine and split vaccines. Viruses, cultured in the cells or embryonated chicken eggs and purified are subjected to prepare whole particle vaccines and ether-disrupted split vaccines by each of the vaccine producers and Hokkaido University. Vaccines prepared are subjected to immunological potency test and safety tests using in mice, ferrets, and monkeys for the preclinical tests, and humans for clinical tests. 3) Evaluation of the results of the tests. 4) Drastic revision of biological standard for vaccines for human use. 5) Each member independently studies on the route of inoculation of the vaccines and adjuvants. 6) Participants to this program: Industries; Kitasato-DaiichiSankyo, Takeda Chemical Ind, Biken, Kaketsuken, Denka Seiken Universities; Hokkaido Univ, Univ Melbourne Government; NIID, Ministry of Health and Labor, Ministry of Education, Sports, Science and Technology 7) Budget: MHLW, MEXT, JSPS, JST AMED etc

40 How to control avian influenza and how to prepare for pandemic influenza 1. How do HPAIVs and human pandemic strains emerge? Live bird markets, quails and chickens; genetic reassortants generated in pigs between human seasonal flu and avian viruses 2. Why have the H5N1 HPAIVs persisted in poultry for 20 years? 3. Why are antigenic variants of different clades circulating in poultry birds? Because of Misuse of Vaccine 4. Will the HPAIVs returned to migratory birds persist in nature? Contamination of HPAIVs in the nesting lakes of migratory ducks may have occurred. Prompt eradication of the H5N1 HPAIVs from poultry in Asia is urgently needed. 5. How should HPAI be controlled? For the containment and eradication of avian influenza viruses in the poultry flocks infected, enhanced surveillance, early detection, culling the flock, movement restriction, and control measures without misuse of vaccine should be done. Vaccine should be carefully used in addition to, not instead of stamping out. 6. Does AI vaccine confer complete protective immunity? No, it inhibit only manifestation of disease signs. 7. Will H5N1 HPAIV cause pandemic influenza? Unlikely 8. Then will H7N9 LPAIV that appeared in China cause pandemic? Unlikely 9. Are the measures for the control of seasonal flu satisfactory? No How to control pandemic flu should be based on the measures for the control of seasonal flu. Especially seasonal flu vaccines should be drastically improved since current split vaccines prepared by ether- or detergent-disruption are not immunogenic enough.
