[h=1]Comparative pathogenesis of H3N2 canine influenza virus in beagle dogs challenged by intranasal and intratracheal inoculation.[/h] Luo J[SUP]1[/SUP], Lu G[SUP]1[/SUP], Ye S[SUP]1[/SUP], Ou J[SUP]1[/SUP], Fu C[SUP]1[/SUP], Zhang X[SUP]1[/SUP], Wang X[SUP]1[/SUP], Huang J[SUP]1[/SUP], Wu P[SUP]1[/SUP], Xu H[SUP]1[/SUP], Wu L[SUP]1[/SUP], Li S[SUP]2[/SUP].

[h=3]Abstract[/h] As important companion animals, dogs may serve as intermediate hosts for transmitting influenza virus to humans. However, knowledge regarding H3N2 canine influenza virus (CIV) pathogenicity is not comprehensive, which directly affects the animal models of pathogenicity in H3N2 CIV vaccine research. Here, to assess H3N2 CIV pathogenicity, we utilized 30 ten-week-old purpose-bred beagles intratracheally or intranasally inoculated with 10[SUP]6[/SUP] 50 % egg-infectious dose. Intratracheal inoculation was more virulent to dogs than intranasal inoculation as shown by lung pathology score, histopathological changes, clinical symptoms, and body temperature. More intense virus replication was observed in the upper and lower respiratory tracts by intratracheal than intranasal inoculation according to nasal swabs, various organ virus titers, and antigen expression. These results may enhance the H3N2 CIV infection model, providing a more complete experimental basis for studying intrinsic H3N2 CIV pathogenic mechanism, and also serving a reference role for CIV prevention and treatment.
