Antigenic and Genetic Analysis of a Recently Isolated H1N1 Swine Influenza Virus Show Full Record 787
Source: American Journal of Veterinary Research. 1993 Oct;54(10):1630-6. Resource Type(s): Journal (Articles) Searchable Keywords: Avian influenza Genetics Immunology Influenza A Virus Influenza A Virus, H1N1 Subtype Metabolism Microbiology Pathology Swine Veterinary medicine Viral antigens Viral genes Abstract: From abstract (online abstract only): Hemagglutinins (HA) of H1N1 swine influenza viruses isolated in the United States have remained antigenically and genetically conserved for many years. In contrast to such conservation, the HA of A/Swine/Nebraska/1/92 (Sw/Neb) could readily be distinguished from those of contemporary porcine viruses. Twenty-eight amino acid mutations differentiated the HA of Sw/Neb and A/Swine/Indiana/1726/88, the most recent H1N1 swine influenza virus for which HA sequence ...
Avian Influenza A Virus Subtype H5N2 in a Red-Lored Amazon Parrot. Show Full Record 989

Resource Type(s): Journal (Articles) Searchable Keywords: Case studies Influenza A Virus, H5N2 subtype Parrots Abstract: From article (free full text avialable): CASE DESCRIPTION: A 3-month-old red-lored Amazon parrot (Amazona autumnalis autumnalis) was evaluated for severe lethargy. CLINICAL FINDINGS: Avian influenza virus hemagglutinin subtype H5N2 with low pathogenicity was characterized by virus isolation, real-time reverse transcriptase PCR assay, chicken intravenous pathogenicity index, and reference sera. The virus was also determined to be closely related to a virus lineage that had been reported only in M...
Avian Influenza and Newcastle Disease [Review] Show Full Record 766
Source: Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association. 2003 Jun 1;222(11):1534-40. Resource Type(s): Journal (Articles) Searchable Keywords: Genetics Influenza A Virus Influenza in birds Newcastle Disease Poultry diseases Zoonoses Abstract: From summary (online abstract only): Avian influenza (AI) and Newcastle disease (ND) are diseases that affect various types of birds, especially domestic chickens and turkeys. These diseases are caused by specific viruses. On several occasions, these viruses have crossed into people and caused infections, but such occurrences have been rare. For the AI viruses, human infections have typically been self-limiting and without deaths. However, in 1997, an H5N1 AI virus in Hong Kong caused 18 hospita...

Bovine spongiform encephalopathy [Letter] Show Full Record 268
Source: Journal of American Veterinary Medical Association. 1994; 204 (11): 1734-1735 Resource Type(s): Journal (Articles) Searchable Keywords: Chronic wasting disease Deer Disease transmission Prion diseases United States Veterinary medicine Abstract: Letter to the editor which questions whether CWD infected deer and elk could transmit BSE to cattle. Author argued that domestic cattle housed with CWD infected Cervidae did not develop spongiform encephalopathy. A theoretical risk may involve the incorporation of infected tissue from Cervidae into meat and bone meal. This risk is so small as to not be included.

Design - Case-control study. Animals - 26 AVM-affected American coots and 12 unaffected coots. Procedures - Complete physical, neurologic, hematologic, and plasma biochemical evaluations were performed. Affected coots received supportive care. All coots died or were euthanatized, and AVM status was confirmed via histopathologic findings. Results - 3 severel...
Isolation of Type A Influenza and Newcastle Disease Viruses from Migratory Waterfowl in the Mississippi Flyway Show Full Record 1392
Source: Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association. 1977 Nov 1;171(9):949-51 Resource Type(s): Journal (Articles) Searchable Keywords: Animals Avian influenza Birds Ducks Geese Isolation & purification Microbiology Mississippi Newcastle Disease Abstract: From abstract (online abstract only): Twenty-seven chicken red blood cell agglutinating agents were isolated from 187 tracheal swabbings of apparently healthy migratory mallard ducks (Anas platyrhynchos) in the Mississippi flyway. Twenty-four of the isolants were type A influenza virus; 3 lentogenic Newcastle disease viruses were isolated. Isolations were not made from either 65 giant Canada geese (Branta canadensis) or 60 Franklins' gulls (Larus pipixcan).
