Résumé

In chickens, avian metapneumovirus (aMPV) causes the swollen head syndrome, a respiratory disease often associated with a reduction in egg production. The virus' epidemiology in East and Southeast Asia is poorly understood. An aMPV serological survey was conducted on broiler chicken farms of Hong Kong SAR to assess the seroprevalence of aMPV in unvaccinated batches and the serological status of vaccinated batches. Blood samples were collected from 53-93-day-old chickens in 24 chicken farms of Hong Kong SAR and sera were tested for aMPV antibodies by ELISA. Seroprevalence in aMPV unvaccinated birds was 80.6% (95% confidence interval (CI): 78.9-82.2) with a high variation between batches. Batch-level seroprevalence was not significantly different between birds hatched during the rainy season (74.3%, 95% CI: 64.0-84.5) and the ones hatched during the dry season (88.7%, 95% CI: 80.1-97.3, p = 0.5). The high seroprevalence and high antibody titers that are reported in this study indicate repeated exposure of broiler chickens to aMPV in Hong Kong SAR poultry farms. Based on these results, we recommend improving the surveillance of respiratory pathogens and applying appropriate prophylactic measures against aMPV such as vaccination.
