A Review of Avian Influenza in Different Bird Species [Review] Show Full Record 716
Source: Veterinary Microbiology. 2000 May 22;74(1-2):3-13. Resource Type(s): Journal (Articles) Searchable Keywords: Ducks Great Britain Humans Influenza A Virus Isolation & purification Molecular sequence data Pathogenicity Turkeys Virology Abstract: From abstract (online abstract only): Only type A influenza viruses are known to cause natural infections in birds, but viruses of all 15 haemagglutinin and all nine neuraminidase influenza A subtypes in the majority of possible combinations have been isolated from avian species. Influenza A viruses infecting poultry can be divided into two distinct groups on the basis of their ability to cause disease. The very virulent viruses cause highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI), in which mortality ...
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 Simple Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism-based Strategy that Can Distinguish the Internal Genes of Human H1N1, H3N2, and H5N1 Influenza A Viruses Show Full Record 1563
Source: Journal of Clinical Microbiology. 2000 Jul;38(7):2579-83 Resource Type(s): Journal (Articles) Searchable Keywords: Animals Avian influenza Genes Genetics Hong Kong Humans Influenza A Virus Influenza A Virus, H5N1Subtype Outbreaks Virology Abstract: From abstract (free full-text available): A simple molecular technique for rapid genotyping was developed to monitor the internal gene composition of currently circulating influenza A viruses. Sequence information from recent H1N1, H3N2, and H5N1 human virus isolates was used to identify conserved regions within each internal gene, and gene-specific PCR primers capable of amplifying all three virus subtypes were designed. Subtyping was based on subtype-specific restriction fragment length polymo...
A Systematic Analytic Approach to Pandemic Influenza Preparedness Planning Show Full Record 1855
Source: PLoS Medicine. 2005 Dec;2(12):e359. Epub 2005 Nov 1. Resource Type(s): Journal (Articles), Photographs, Table or Spreadsheet Searchable Keywords: Avian influenza Disaster planning Humans Israel Models Outbreaks Thailand World health Abstract: From article (free full-text available): The prospect of a pandemic with avian influenza is an urgent concern for public health leaders worldwide. As pathogenic avian influenza A (H5N1) strains continue to spread in East Asia, with recently reported expansion to Siberia and westward regions in Russia as well as to migratory birds, the risk for reassortment of avian and human strains increases. Evidence cited by the World Health Organization in May 2005 suggests that H5N1 may be adapting to human...
Agroterrorism, Biological Crimes, and Biowarfare Targeting Animal Agriculture. The Clinical, Pathologic, Diagnostic, and Epidemiologic Features of Some Important Animal Diseases. Show Full Record 767
Source: Clinics in Laboratory Medicine. 2003 Mar;23(1):139-59 Resource Type(s): Journal (Articles) Searchable Keywords: Avian influenza Bioterrorism Disease transmission Domestic animals Epidemiology Humans Infectious diseases Pathology Abstract: From abstract (online abstract only): In the past 100 years, to our knowledge there have been approximately 12 events involving the intentional introduction of microbiologic agents into livestock and animal populations worldwide, of which three were World War I events in the United States. To the best of the authors' knowledge, there has been no recent intentional introduction of microbiologic agents (viruses or bacteria) into livestock and animal populations in the United States. The criminal o...

Amplification of the Entire Genome of Influenza A Virus H1N1 and H3N2 Subtypes by Reverse-transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction Show Full Record 1443
Source: Journal of Virological Methods. 2006 Sep;136(1-2):38-43. Epub 2006 May 9. Resource Type(s): Journal (Articles) Searchable Keywords: Avian influenza Genetics Genome Humans Influenza A Virus, H1N1 Subtype Influenza A Virus, H2N2 subtype Methods Reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction Abstract: From abstract (online abstract only): This study describes the development of a simple RT-PCR method to amplify the whole genome of the influenza A virus based on the amplification of full-length gene segments. Primers were designed based on the conserved regions of both the 5'-end and the 3'-end of each gene segment. After optimizing the duration and temperature of denaturing, annealing, and extension, these primers could amplify all of the full-length gene segments. To test the accuracy of the... ![[PDF]](images/icons/pdf.gif "Adobe Reader File"){kind=icon} Antibodies to Human Influenzavirus Neuraminidase (the A-Asian-57 H2N2 Strain) in Sera from Australian Pelagic Birds Show Full Record 1457
Source: Bulletin of the World Health Organization. 1972;47(4):535-41 Resource Type(s): Journal (Articles) Searchable Keywords: Analysis aspects Animals Antibodies Australia Avian influenza Bird diseases Birds Human Influenza Humans Immunology Microbiology Neuraminidase Orthomyxoviridae Serology Veterinary medicine Abstract: From abstract (free full-text available): Sera collected from Australian pelagic birds specifically inhibited the neuraminidase of the Asian/57 (H2N2) strain of human influenzavirus. Neuraminidase inhibition titres of some sera were high and the avidity of the inhibitor was comparable to that of specific antibody. The neuraminidase of A/Hong Kong/1/68 (H3N2), which was undergone considerable antigenic drift in man since 1957, was inhibited to a lesser extent by the bird sera, while the neuramini... |
