[Avian influenza virus] [Review] [Article in Japanese] Show Full Record 755
Source: Uirusu. 2004 Jun;54(1):93-6 Resource Type(s): Journal (Articles) Searchable Keywords: Avian influenza Genetics Pathogenicity Poultry Zoonoses Abstract: ON-LINE ABSTRACT ONLY: Recent outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza in chickens and ducks that occurred in 9 Asian countries including Japan alarmed to realize that there is no border for infections and gave a rise to great concern for human health as well as for agriculture. This H5N1 virus jumped the species barrier and caused severe disease with high mortality in humans in Viet Nam and Thailand; 15 deaths of 22 cases and 8 of 12, respectively. A second concern was the possibility tha...
Active Surveillance for Avian Influenza Viruses in Wild Birds and Backyard Flocks in Northern Italy During 2004 to 2006 Show Full Record 2570
Source: Avian Pathology. 2007 August;36(4):337 - 344 Resource Type(s): Journal (Articles) Searchable Keywords: Avian influenza Biological sampling Epidemiology Italy Poultry Surveillance (monitoring) Wild birds Abstract: From abstract (online abstract only): Following the avian influenza epidemics that occurred in Italy between 1997 and 2003, the Italian Ministry of Health in collaboration with veterinary authorities promoted, funded and implemented a national surveillance programme. The main objectives of the surveillance effort were to identify avian influenza viruses circulating in wild birds and to investigate the role of backyard poultry flocks in the dynamics of infection in a densely populated poultry are...
Applying the Scientific Method when Assessing the Influence of Migratory Birds on the Dispersal of H5N1 Show Full Record 3568

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...

Avian Flu: Multiple Introductions of H5N1 in Nigeria Show Full Record 1930
Source: Nature. 2006 Jul 6;442(7098):37. Resource Type(s): Journal (Articles) Searchable Keywords: Agriculture Animals Asia Avian influenza Disease transmission Europe Genetics Hemagglutinins Influenza A Virus, H5N1Subtype Influenza in birds Isolation & purification Migration (animal) Nigeria Phylogeny Poultry Russia Virology Abstract: From abstract (online abstract only): As the avian influenza virus H5N1 swept from Asia across Russia to Europe, Nigeria was the first country in Africa to report the emergence of this highly pathogenic virus. Here we analyse H5N1 sequences in poultry from two different farms in Lagos state and find that three H5N1 lineages were independently introduced through routes that coincide with the flight paths of migratory birds, although independent trade imports cannot be excluded.
Avian Influenza and Human Health [Review] Show Full Record 714

Resource Type(s): Journal (Articles) Searchable Keywords: Avian influenza Epidemiology Human health Influenza A Virus Influenza in birds Italy Outbreaks Pandemic aspects Pathogenicity Poultry Veterinary medicine Abstract: From abstract (online abstract only): Natural infections with influenza A viruses have been reported in a variety of animal species including humans, pigs, horses, sea mammals, mustelids and birds. Occasionally devastating pandemics occur in humans. Although viruses of relatively few HA and NA subtype combinations have been isolated from mammalian species, all 15 HA subtypes and all 9 NA subtypes, in most combinations, have been isolated from birds.In the 20th century the sudden emergence of ant...
Avian Influenza in Hong Kong 1997-2002 Show Full Record 1156

Eighteen human cases of disease were recorded, six of which were fatal. This unique virus was eliminated through total depopulation of all poultry markets and chicken farms in December 1997. Other outbreaks of high-pathogenicity avian influenza (HPAI) caused by H5N1 viruses occurred in poultry in 2001 and 2002. These H5N1 viruses isola...

However, most of what is presently known about AI transmission from wild waterfowl to commercial poultry operations was derived from epidemiologic studies which were published in the 1970's and 80's and used laboratory techniques much less sophisticated than those employed today. The development of advanced molecular techniques and their use in epidemiologic investigations and surveillance may soon produce a clearer picture of the "state of nat... |
