Abstract: 【Objective】 The experiment was aimed to understand the prevalence of Swine influenza virus (SIV) in Guangdong and explore its molecular biological characteristics.【Method】 Nasal swab and lung tissue samples of pigs suspected to be infected with Swine influenza virus were collected from a pig farm in Guangdong for virus isolation and identification,genetic evolution and key amino acid site analysis.【Result】 The samples were tested positive for Swine influenza virus nucleic acid by Real-time quantitative RT-PCR.In the red blood cell agglutination test,the virus exhibited agglutination with chicken red blood cells,with a hemagglutination titer of 1∶128.The results of sequencing analysis of eight gene segments were analyzed by BLAST comparison and construction of evolutionary trees,and HA and NA genes belonged to the Eurasian avian-like Swine influenza virus (H1N1) branch,PA,PB1,PB2,NP and M genes belonged to the pdm/09 branch,and NS gene belonged to the North American triple reassortant branch,therefore,the isolate in this study belonged to the G4 genotype Eurasian avian-like Swine influenza virus,and was named A/swine/Guangdong/CJM2/2022 (H1N1).Key amino acid site analysis showed that the cleavage site sequence of HA protein of the isolate was PSIQSR/GL,which had the molecular characteristics of a typical low pathogenicity influenza virus.The amino acids at position 190,225 and 226 of the receptor binding site of HA gene were D,E and Q,respectively,which suggested that it had the potential ability to bind to the human salivary acid receptor and it also had the potential to bind avian sialic acid receptors.None of the amino acid residues of NA gene were mutated,suggesting that the isolate was sensitive to neuraminidase inhibitors such as oseltamivir and zanamivir.However,the mutations at three amino acid sites in M gene were V27A,A30T and D44A,suggesting an increased resistance to amantadine-based drugs.【Conclusion】 The strain isolated and identified in this study was a G4 Eurasian avian-like Swine influenza virus.The analysis of key amino acid sites suggested that this strain had the characteristics of adapting to replication and enhancing virulence in mammals.The results of this study provided reference data for the prevention and control of swine influenza in Guangdong.
