- Abstract
Simple Summary: Wild animals can be of veterinary and public health concern due to their potential to harbor pathogens and transmit them to humans and domestic animals. Avian paramyxovirus 1 (APMV-1) is capable of infecting a wide range of avian species, leading to a broad spectrum of clinical symptoms and posing a potential risk to public health. This study represents the investigation of avian paramyxoviruses (APMVs) in wild waterfowl from Korea. In this study, 13 isolates of APMV-1 and 1 isolate of APMV-13 were obtained and their genetic characteristics of fusion gene were analyzed. We identified the wild ducks and geese likely to be infected with APMV, and our data suggest a possible intercontinental transmission of APMVs by wild waterfowl. Moreover, our study provides the first evidence for the presence of class I of APMV-1 and APMV-13 in wild waterfowl that were sampled in Korea. This finding not only adds to our understanding of the diversity of APMVs but also underscores the importance of monitoring and addressing the epidemiology of these viruses in wildlife, particularly from a One Health perspective. Avian paramyxoviruses (APMVs) are often carried by wild waterfowl, and the wild waterfowl may play an important role in the maintenance and spread of these viruses. In this study, we investigated APMVs in the population of migratory wild waterfowl from 2015 to 2021 in Korea and analyzed their genetic characteristics. Fourteen viruses were isolated and subsequently identified as APMV-1 (n = 13) and APMV-13 (n = 1). Phylogenetic analysis of the full fusion gene of 13 APMV-1 isolates showed that 10 APMV-1 isolates belonged to the class II sub-genotype I.2, which was epidemiologically linked to viruses from the Eurasian continent, and 3 viruses belonged to class I, which linked to viruses from the USA. The APMV-13 isolates from wild geese in this study were highly homology to the virus isolated from China. Sequence analysis of 14 isolates showed that all isolates had a typical lentogenic motif at the cleavage site. In summary, we identified the wild species likely to be infected with APMV and our data suggest possible intercontinental transmission of APMV by wild waterfowl. Our current study also provides the first evidence for the presence of class I of APMV-1 and APMV-13 in wild waterfowl surveyed in Korea.
