Wild Ducks are the Reservoir for Only a Limited Number of Influenza A Subtypes Show Full Record 734

Source: Epidemiology & Infection. 1993 Feb;110(1):161-76.
Resource Type(s): Journal (Articles)
Searchable Keywords: Avian influenza Disease reservoirs Ducks Influenza A Virus Isolation & purification Microbiology
Abstract: From abstract (online abstract only): Analysis of cloacal samples collected from 12,321 wild ducks in Alberta, Canada, from 1976 to 1990 showed influenza A infections to be seasonal, with prevalences increasing as the population became increasingly more dense. Viruses with 3 haemagglutinin (H3, H4, and H6) and 3 neuraminidase subtypes (N2, N6, and N8) were found consistently to infect both adult and juvenile ducks each year, indicating that wild ducks may be a reservoir for these viruses. In con...

Wild Ducks as Long-Distance Vectors of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza Virus (H5N1) Show Full Record 3935

Abstract: From abstract (free full-text available):Wild birds have been implicated in the expansion of highly pathogenic avian influenza virus (H5N1) outbreaks across Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and Africa (in addition to traditional transmission by infected poultry, contaminated equipment, and people). Such a role would require wild birds to excrete virus in the absence of debilitating disease. By experimentally infecting wild ducks, we found that tufted ducks, Eurasian pochards, and mallards excreted...

Wildlife Surveillance Associated with an Outbreak of Lethal H5N2 Avian Influenza in Domestic Poultry Show Full Record 1407

Source: Avian Diseases. 1985 Jul-Sep;29(3):733-41
Resource Type(s): Journal (Articles)
Searchable Keywords: Animals Avian influenza Birds Disease reservoirs Disease transmission Hemagglutinins Influenza in birds Microbiology Neuraminidase Orthomyxoviridae Outbreaks Paramyxoviridae Pennsylvania Veterinary medicine
Abstract: From abstract (free full-text available): Wildlife surveillance was conducted for influenza viruses in conjunction with the 1983-84 lethal H5N2 avian influenza epizootic in domestic poultry in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland, and Virginia. Virus-isolation attempts made on cloacal and tracheal swabs from 4,466 birds and small rodents within the quarantined areas and 1,511 waterfowl in nearby Maryland yielded only a single H5N2 isolate from a pen-raised chukar in Pennsylvania. Antibodies agains...
