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 abstract (free full-text available): Convalescent levels of influenza antibodies were demonstrated by an agar gel precipitin (AGP) test in turkey sera after field out-breaks. The AGP test was positive with chicken sera for at least 8 weeks after laboratory exposure to any of 3 influenza strains, and positive with turkey sera for at least 12 weeks after exposure. The AGP test facilitates a diagnosis of avian influenza using a suspect virus or paired sera without the influences of strain-to-s...
