HPAI outbreaks poultry 2018
HPAI H5N1 ancestral virusGoose/Guangdong/96
Multiple waves new strains – virus constantly evolving (Goose/Guangdong lineage)
• Antigenetic change – HA• Accumulated changes
• Genotypic variation• Genetic reassortment
• 1997- H5N1 multiple clades (0, 1, 2, 7)• 2.2 spread to Europe/Africa • 2.1 spread to Indonesia
• 2009 – H5N1, selection of clades with greater fitness for birds• ie clade 2.3.2.1 spread to West Africa
• 2013 – H5N2, H5N8, H5N6• ie clade 2.3.4.4 spread to ‘African continent’

Future perspectives for global poultry production
• Understanding pathways for introduction• Ongoing threat from infected nearby countries- H5 viruses• Endemic strains ie H9N2, H6N2• Virus variability; correlates for infection risk
• Poultry industry associated spread• Live birds, commodities, fomite
• Human behaviour: migration, societal factors• Global Food security and zoonotic risk• Trade impacts and risks• Regional contingency and preparedness
• Early detection and control measures• Vaccination
• Solutions at global scale for better interventions• Better veterinary vaccines
Desired results of vaccination against AI
• freedom from disease• no effect on production or other serious expense• no trade embargoes• Eradication if enzootic infection
APHA 2017 10
Avian influenza vaccination
Current vaccines can result in:• Protection against clinical signs• Decrease bird susceptibility to infection• Reduction in virus excretion• Reduction in transmission (birds and humans)BUT………….
AI vaccination - caution
• AI virus may infect and replicate in vaccinated birds without clinical signs
• As a corollary HPAI as defined by OIE may still be confirmed in such birds
• Coverage rates in key at risk populations need to be >60% (ideally 80%)
• Infection with HPAI virus without clinical signs may lead to spread and an endemic situation
Vaccination will only work when applied in combination with other
measures
Vaccination is not a substitute for weak farm biosecurity
Challenges associated with use of vaccination
• Clearly defined objectives/Exit strategy• Supplementary tool for control of outbreaks
– Biosecurity– Stamping out of infected flocks– Buffer zones
• Proactive surveillance necessary in vaccinated populations– DIVA– Serological monitoring– Use of sentinels
• Antigenic variability in field strains• Target populations?• Ease of delivery• System for control of statutory disease needs to be subject to supervision by
competent veterinary authority• Trade impacts• Management of public health implications/assurance• Effective tool for control of HPAI?
Veterinary inactivated vaccines for AI (advantages and disadvantages)
• Inactivated whole AI virus – with adjuvant; produced versus field strain (ie rg viruses in China versus evolving H5)
• Relatively cheap, multiple hosts, easy to standardise, can be adapted to field virus, licensure
• Generally 2 doses for protection; NO mass application, lack DIVA, poor in overcoming maternal antibody, or hatchery application

Veterinary vectored vaccines for AI (advantages and disadvantages)
• Live vector – avian virus carrying an AI gene insert ie H5 HA
• Number of delivery vectors (Avian Avulavirus [APMV1] 1, DVE, Fowlpox, Herpesvirus Turkey
• Relatively cheap, easy to standardise, can be adapted to field virus, mass application including at hatchery, DIVA applicable
• Host specificity (define target population), licensure for field, natural immunity in population to vector

Veterinary other vaccines for AI (advantages and disadvantages)
• In vitro produced HA• Adaptable to changing virus, DIVA, multiple hosts• Poor knowledge for field application, expensive to
produce, delivery? • Nucleic acid
• Adaptable to changing virus, DIVA, multiple hosts• Poor knowledge for field application, expensive to
produce, delivery?, 2 doses minimum

Vaccination as a tool for prevention/control
• 114 billion doses (2002-2010) in 15 countries (42% average coverage)
• >99% in 4 countries; China (91%), Egypt (4.65%), Indonesia (2.3%) & Vietnam (1.43%)
• Ten countries or regions 0.7% of total (high risk targeting or management tool during eradication)
• Inactivated (95.5%) and live recombinant vectored vaccines (4.5%)
• Challenges to induce sufficient flock immunity in susceptible key species
• Used to achieve• Eradication followed by withdrawal of vaccination
21
Vaccination as a tool for prevention/control
• Used to achieve• Reduce disease burden without eradication (China, Egypt,
Indonesia, Vietnam)• Eradication followed by withdrawal of vaccination (ie Israel,
Coe d’Ivoire)• Eradication with continuation of vaccination as a
preventative measure (Hong Kong)• Preventative vaccination without HPAI in poultry
(Kazakhstan and Mongolia)
22
Potential application in a South Africa setting?
• Continual risk with epizootic waves
• Risk populations?
• Define aim
• Preventative- match to threat viruses; duration of programme?
• Emergency application to live (?) in buffer zones (?) as component of control strategy towards eradication
• delivery on scale challenges; time to induce flock immunity
Text in footer 23
Potential application in a South Africa setting?
• Challenges• Vaccine bank provision?• Ensure appropriate high quality vaccines• Efficacy versus changing virus• DIVA can be applied• Licensure issues• Cost benefit?
• Consider wider impacts• Trade, • Surveillance intensity/cost to prove freedom, • Vaccine escape• Public health perception/threat

Vaccination as a tool for prevention/controlSummary issues
• Although many vaccines are used few have proven utility to prevent H5 HPAI infection at population level
• Lack ease of delivery and efficacy versus a diverse family of viruses• Prime/boost (vector followed by inactivated)
• Innovations in vaccine design have largely not been invested in for AI for different field applications
• Universal vaccines?
• Target hosts: anseriformes present greatest challenge• Differentiating Infected from Vaccinated Animals
• Relevant for some areas/regions likely important for trade
• Produced in accord with international standards (OIE)• USA small vaccine stockpile since 14/15 epidemic
• rgH5N1 inactivated vaccine, RNA particle vaccine (i.e defective alphavirus vaccine) and recombinant HVT

Step 1:antigenic and genetic analyses of currently circulating H5 clades
Influenzas of veterinary
public health importance
Step 3: quantitatively assess the
potential risk of emerging strains both between poultry and into humans
• Generate harmonised chicken and ferret serum panels
• HI assays with current H5 clade strains
• Antigenic cartography• Whole genome
sequencing• integrated phylogenetic
analyses
Step 2:evaluate antigenetic changes
of significance to both poultry vaccine efficacy and the transmission risk to and within mammalian species
Provide timely analyses to key stakeholder organisations:
