Center for Food Security and Public Health Resource Type(s): Fact Sheets, FAQs, Issue Overviews Searchable Keywords: Disease transmission Prevention & control Viral Hemorrhagic Septicemia (VHS) Abstract: This web site is part of an education and outreach campaign for viral hemorrhagic septicemia (VHS) prevention funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (USDA APHIS). It is part of a collaborative effort to help boaters, anglers, aquaculture producers and bait fish dealers understand the serious nature of VHS and to encourage them to use prevention measures. The site was developed by the Center for Food Security and Public Health at Iowa State Univer...
Antiviral Response in Pandemic Influenza Viruses Show Full Record 2285
Source: Emerging Infectious Diseases. 2006 Jan;12(1):44-7. Resource Type(s): Journal (Articles) Searchable Keywords: Avian influenza Epidemiology Human Influenza Immunology Influenza A Virus Interferons Outbreaks Vaccines Viral proteins Abstract: From abstract (free full-text available): The outcome of viral infections depends on a complex set of interactions between the viruses and their hosts. Particularly, viral infection triggers specific signaling programs within the infected cells that results in substantial changes in host gene expression. While some of these changes might be beneficial for viral replication, others represent the induction of a host antiviral response. In this respect, viruses have evolved genes that counteract t...

Viral, Parasitic and Prion Diseases of Farmed Deer and Bison [Review] Show Full Record 366
Source: Revue Scientifique et Technique. 2002 Aug;21(2):219-48 Resource Type(s): Issue Overviews, Journal (Articles) Searchable Keywords: Bison buffalo Captive cervids Chronic wasting disease Deer Diagnosis Epidemiology Parasitic diseases Parasitology Prion diseases Therapy Veterinary medicine Viral diseases Abstract: From abstract (online abstract only): The most important viral disease of farmed deer and bison is malignant catarrhal fever. The other herpesviruses which have been isolated from these species are briefly described. Other viral agents that are recognised in these animals, including adenovirus, parapox, foot and mouth disease, bluetongue, epizootic haemorrhagic disease, bovine virus diarrhoea, rotavirus and coronavirus, are also discussed. Ectoparasites of importance in this group in various par...
A Multiplex RT-PCR for Detection of Type A influenza Virus and Differentiation of Avian H5, H7, and H9 Hemagglutinin Subtypes Show Full Record 1293
Source: Molecular and Cellular Probes. 2006 Mar 14; [Epub ahead of print] Resource Type(s): Journal (Articles) Searchable Keywords: Avian influenza Diagnosis Genetics Hemagglutinins Polymerase chain reaction Viral subtypes Abstract: From abstract (online abstract only): A multiplex reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (mRT-PCR) was developed and optimized for the detection of type A influenza virus; the assay simultaneously differentiates avian H5, H7 and H9 hemagglutinin subtypes. Four sets of specific oligonucleotide primers were used in this test for type A influenza virus, H5, H7 and H9 heamagglutinin subtypes. The mRT-PCR DNA products were visualized by gel electrophoresis and consisted of fragments of 860bp...
Avian Influenza A (H5N1) in 10 Patients in Vietnam Show Full Record 2347

Resource Type(s): Journal (Articles) Searchable Keywords: Antibacterial agents Antiviral agents Avian influenza Chickens Disease transmission Ducks Humans Influenza A Virus Influenza A Virus, H5N1Subtype Influenza in birds Reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction RNA Vietnam Virology Abstract: From abstract (online abstract only): BACKGROUND: Recent outbreaks of avian influenza A (H5N1) in poultry throughout Asia have had major economic and health repercussions. Human infections with this virus were identified in Vietnam in January 2004. METHODS: We report the clinical features and preliminary epidemiologic findings among 10 patients with confirmed cases of avian influenza A (H5N1) who presented to hospitals in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi, Vietnam, in December 2003 and January 2004. RE...
Avian Influenza A Virus Causing an Outbreak of Contagious Interstitial Pneumonia in Mink Show Full Record 1445
Source: Acta Veterinaria Scandinavica. 1986;27(4):497-504 Resource Type(s): Journal (Articles) Searchable Keywords: Avian influenza Influenza A Virus Microbiology Mink Outbreaks Pathogenicity Sweden Veterinary medicine Viral pneumonia Abstract: From abstract (no online abstract available): An outbreak of contagious respiratory disease in mink occurred in October 1984 on the south-east coast of Sweden. High morbidity with coughing, sneezing and dullness was reported. Post mortem examination showed interstitial pneumonia in most examined mink. An avian influenza A virus was isolated and shown to belong to serotype H10N4. Serological studies established that this virus was the most probable cause of the outbreak and also that this new vir...
Consistent Occurrence of Hemagglutinin Variants Among Avian Influenza Virus Isolates of the H7 Subtype Show Full Record 1864
Source: Virus Research. 1994 Oct;34(1):15-29. Resource Type(s): Journal (Articles) Searchable Keywords: Animals Antibodies Avian influenza Chick embryo Chickens Comparative studies Genes Genetics Glycosylation Hemagglutinins Influenza A Virus Mice RNA Viral proteins Abstract: From abstract (online abstract only): Several field isolates of avian influenza virus of the H7 subtype were analyzed for the presence of hemagglutinin variants by labeling proteins in cells infected with virus clones, and reacting with monoclonal antibodies. Each strain was shown to contain two distinct electrophoretic variants of the uncleaved hemagglutinin. In the A/Tk/Ore/71 (H7N3) isolate, two variants remained in the population through 35 laboratory passages, indicating both are stable and...

Resource Type(s): Journal (Articles) Searchable Keywords: Antiviral agents Avian influenza Humans Immunization programs Influenza A Virus Outbreaks Prevention & control Southeastern Asia Thailand Therapy Time factors Vaccines Abstract: From abstract (online abstract only): Highly pathogenic avian influenza A (subtype H5N1) is threatening to cause a human pandemic of potentially devastating proportions. We used a stochastic influenza simulation model for rural Southeast Asia to investigate the effectiveness of targeted antiviral prophylaxis, quarantine, and pre-vaccination in containing an emerging influenza strain at the source. If the basic reproductive number (R0) was below 1.60, our simulations showed that a prepared respon...
Continued Circulation in China of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza Viruses Encoding the Hemagglutinin Gene Associated with the 1997 H5N1 Outbreak in Poultry and Humans Show Full Record 768

Resource Type(s): Journal (Articles) Searchable Keywords: Avian influenza Birds Genetics Influenza A Virus Influenza A Virus, H5N1Subtype Microbiology Poultry diseases Viral hemagglutinins Virology Abstract: From abstract (free full-text available): Since the outbreak in humans of an H5N1 avian influenza virus in Hong Kong in 1997, poultry entering the live-bird markets of Hong Kong have been closely monitored for infection with avian influenza. In March 1999, this monitoring system detected geese that were serologically positive for H5N1 avian influenza virus, but the birds were marketed before they could be sampled for virus. However, viral isolates were obtained by swabbing the cages that housed ... |
