Abstract:
From abstract (free full-text available: BACKGROUND: The role of wild birds in the dispersal of highly pathogenic avian influenza virus H5N1 continues to be the subject of considerable debate. However, some researchers functionally examining the same question are applying opposing null hypotheses when examining this issue. DISUCSSION: I describe the correct method for establishing a null hypothesis under the scientific method. I suggest that the correct null hypothesis is that migratory birds ca...

Abstract:
From abstract (free full-text available): Influenza A virus isolates of the H4N5 subtype (which has previously been detected only in birds) were recovered from harbor seals dying of viral pneumonia on the New England coast from June 1982 through March 1983. When these isolates were compared with other mammalian and avian viruses in serological assays and RNA-RNA competitive hybridization, it was found that the seal viruses were most closely related antigenically and genetically to recent avian v...

Abstract:
From abstract (online abstract only): Ostriches were inoculated with a laboratory-derived highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) virus of emu origin, A/emu/TX/39924/93 (H5N2) clone c1B. The aim of this study was to evaluate the pathogenicity of this isolate for ostriches and assess the ability of routine virological and serological tests to detect infection. Avian influenza virus (AIV) was isolated from cloacal and tracheal swabs from 2 to 12 days post-infection. AIV was also isolated from bra...

Abstract:
From project summary: Through an international collaborative partnership, this study will examine the likelihood that migratory birds will transmit highly pathogenic H5N1 avian influenza from Asia to North America, and to use Northern Pintails (Anas acuta) as a model for viral transmission. The various aspects of this project will: (1) evaluate spatial overlap of North American and Asian pintail populations through analysis of band recoveries of birds marked on each continent, (2) deploy satelli...
