ABSTRACT
Abbaszadeh Hasiri M, Nazifi S, Hesami Z., Prevalence of HN subtypes of Influenza virus in
dogs in Iran, Onl J Vet Res., 17(10):578-582,
2013. Canine
influenza (CI) is a newly emerging and highly contagious respiratory infection
of dogs. This study was aimed at evaluating the prevalence of serological
infection against H1N1, H5N1, H3N2, H3N8 and H9N2 subtypes of Influenza virus
(influenza A viruses that have been reported in dogs in different countries
until now) in dogs referred to the Veterinary Clinic at Shiraz University,
Iran. Blood samples were taken from 209 dogs for serological tests and a full
set of characteristics were recorded. Complete physical examinations were
included. ELISA test was performed to detect antibodies against influenza virus
and Hemagglutination Inhibition (HI) was used to
measure the titer of antibody against the H3N8, H3N2, H1N1, H5N1 and H9N2
subtypes. Based on the results of the ELISA test, 39.23% samples had antibodies
against influenza A virus. Also, according to the HI
test there was no positive sample for the mentioned subtypes in the studied
dogs. Subtypes of influenza reported herein are not common in Iran.
