[Isolation of Avian Influenza from Migratory Waterfowl in Germany: Results of a Two Year Study] [Acticle in German] Show Full Record 1184
Source: Berl Munch Tierarztl Wochenschr. 2006 Mar-Apr;119(3-4):132-9 Resource Type(s): Journal (Articles) Searchable Keywords: Avian influenza Epidemiology Germany Migratory birds Surveillance (monitoring) Abstract: From abstract (online abstract only): In order to determine the actual prevalence of avian influenza viruses (AIV) in wild birds in Germany, extensive surveillance studies were carried out between March 2003 and January 2005. More than 3.000 samples of 79 different species of wild birds (migratory and resident birds) were taken and 1.151 established pools investigated. Samples came from 80 different regions of Germany. Forty AIV isolates representing 14 combinations of eight different hemaggluti... ![[IMAGE]](images/icons/image.gif "Image File"){kind=icon} A Map Highlighting CWD in North America [Image] Show Full Record 115

A Plague Epizootic in the Black-Tailed Prairie Dog (Cynomys Ludovicianus) Show Full Record 1594
Source: Journal of Wildlife Diseases. 2006 Jan;42(1):74-80. Resource Type(s): Journal (Articles) Searchable Keywords: Epidemiology Immunology Plague Prairie dogs Rodent diseases Sciuridae Seroepidemiologic studies Veterinary medicine Wyoming Yersinia pestis Abstract: From abstract (free full-text available): Plague is the primary cause for the rangewide decline in prairie dog (Cynomys spp.) distribution and abundance, yet our knowledge of plague dynamics in prairie dog populations is limited. Our understanding of the effects of plague on the most widespread species, the black-tailed prairie dog (C. ludovicianus), is particularly weak. During a study on the population biology of black-tailed prairie dogs in Wyoming, USA, plague was detected in a colony under ...
A Retrospective Study of the Causes of Morbidity and Mortality in Farmed Elk (Cervus elaphus) Show Full Record 1250
Source: Canadian Veterinary Journal. 2005 Dec;46(12):1108-13, 1120-1. Resource Type(s): Journal (Articles), Table or Spreadsheet Searchable Keywords: Canada Chronic wasting disease Deer Epidemiology Laboratories Morbidity Mortality Retrospective studies Statistics & numerical data Wounds & injuries Abstract: From abstract (free full-text available): A survey of North American farmed elk (Cervus elaphus) producers was performed to determine the causes of sickness and mortality in farmed elk and to estimate mortality rates. Records over a 10-year period from 8 North American veterinary diagnostic pathology laboratories were also examined and summarized. The primary diagnosis for each record was used to classify diseases into categories such as parasitic, infectious, toxicological, and neoplastic. Nons...
A Short Review of Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies, and Guidelines for Managing Risks Associated with Chronic Wasting disease in Captive Cervids in Zoos [Review] Show Full Record 379
Source: Journal of Zoo and Wildlife Medicine. 2003; 34(2): 125-133 Resource Type(s): Journal (Articles) Searchable Keywords: Artiodactyla Chronic wasting disease Deer Disease transmission Epidemiology Humans Kuru Prevention & control Prion diseases Risk factors Scrapie Therapy Zoo Animals Abstract: From abstract (online abstract only): The transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) represent an emerging group of diseases that have been labeled as 'prion diseases' because of the recent characterization of the infectious agent. TSEs are caused by prions, which induce neurodegenerative fatal diseases in humans and animals. Some TSEs (scrapie and kuru), have existed in both animals and humans for a very long time, whereas others such as bovine spongiform encephalopathy and variant Creutz...
A Virological Survey in Migrating Waders and Other Waterfowl in One of the Most Important Resting Sites of Germany Show Full Record 1304
Source: Journal of Veterinary Medicine. Series B: Infectious Diseases and Veterinary Public Health. 2006 Apr;53(3):105-10. Resource Type(s): Journal (Articles) Searchable Keywords: Avian influenza Epidemiology Germany Migratory birds Virology Waterfowl Wild birds Abstract: From abstract (online abstract only): Wild birds are considered a potential reservoir or a carrier of viral diseases and may therefore play a role in the epidemiology of economically important or zoonotic diseases. In 2001 and 2002, a survey with special emphasis on virus isolation in migrating waders and some other birds were conducted. In one of the most important inland resting sites for migratory waterfowl, tracheal and cloacal swabs were collected from 465 waders representing 19 different s...

Absence of Detection of Highly Pathogenic H5N1 in Migratory Waterfowl in Southern France in 2005-2006 Show Full Record 2617
Source: Infection, Genetics and Evolution. 2007 May 21; [Epub ahead of print] Resource Type(s): Journal (Articles) Searchable Keywords: Anseriformes Avian influenza Biological sampling Epidemiology France Influenza A Virus, H5N1Subtype Waterfowl Abstract: From abstract (online abstract only): During fall 2005, the rapid and wide spread of highly pathogenic (HP) H5N1 avian influenza viruses (AIV) outside Asia alerted European health authorities. Because of abnormal and recurrent field mortality, wild migratory birds were considered to be the main dispersing agent of the virus at an intercontinental scale. European wintering wetlands, such as the Camargue (Rhone delta, France), are identified as potential hot spots for the risk of introduction and ...
Active Surveillance for Avian Influenza Virus Infection in Wild Birds by Analysis of Avian Fecal Samples from the Environment Show Full Record 5182
Source: Journal of Wildlife Diseases. 2009 Apr;45(2):512-8. Resource Type(s): Journal (Articles) Searchable Keywords: Disease reservoirs Ducks Epidemiology Feces Geese Germany Influenza A Virus Influenza in birds Isolation & purification Virology Abstract: From abstract: A total of 1991 environmental samples of fresh avian feces and urine from several aquatic bird species in a coastal area of Northeast Germany were examined for the presence of avian influenza viruses (AIV). By real-time reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction, specific for an M gene of influenza A viruses, none of 659 duck samples and only 11 (0.9%) of 1,268 geese and swan samples tested positive. Two of these were identified as H5N2 viruses of low pathogenicity. Conventio... |
