Detection and Isolation of Highly Pathogenic H5N1 Avian Influenza A Viruses from Blow Flies Collected in the Vicinity of an Infected Poultry Farm in Kyoto, Japan, 2004 Show Full Record 1554

Source: The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene. 2006 Aug;75(2):327-332.
Resource Type(s): Journal (Articles)
Searchable Keywords: Avian influenza Blow flies Crows Disease transmission Japan Poultry Vectors (disease)
Abstract: From abstract (online abstract only): During the outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza that occurred in Tamba Town, Kyoto Prefecture in 2004, a total of 926 flies were collected from six sites within a radius of 2.3 km from the poultry farm. The H5 influenza A virus genes were detected from the intestinal organs, crop, and gut of the two blow fly species, Calliphora nigribarbis and Aldrichina grahami, by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction for the matrix protein (M) and hemag...

Measuring Prions Causing Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy or Chronic Wasting Disease by Immunoassays and Transgenic Mice [Evaluation Studies] Show Full Record 348

Resource Type(s): Journal (Articles)
Searchable Keywords: Analysis aspects Bovine spongiform encephalopathy Brain Cattle Chronic wasting disease Creutzfeldt-Jakob Syndrome Deer Diagnostic techniques & procedures Disease reservoirs Epidemiology Humans Immunoassays Metabolism Prion protein Sensitivity & specificity Species specificity Vectors (disease)
Abstract: From abstract (free full-text available): There is increasing concern over the extent to which bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) prions have been transmitted to humans, as a result of the rising number of variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD) cases. Toward preventing new transmissions, diagnostic tests for prions in livestock have been developed using the conformation-dependent immunoassay (CDI), which simultaneously measures specific antibody binding to denatured and native forms of the...

Monkeypox - A Lesson Not Yet Learned [Book Sidebar] Show Full Record 1474

Source: Friend M. 2006, Disease Emergence and Resurgence: The Wildlife-Human Connection: Reston, Va., U.S. Geological Survey, Circular 1285, 168 - 170p.
Resource Type(s): Issue Overviews, Maps, Table or Spreadsheet
Searchable Keywords: Africa Disease reservoirs Disease transmission Emerging infectious diseases Illinois Monkeypox Texas Vectors (disease) Zoonoses
Abstract: Focuses on the disease, monkeypox, as an example of the wildlife connection to newly emerging diseases. Some of the topics briefly discussed include the early emergence of this disease, its reservoirs and vectors and how it appeared in the United States. Taken from the chapter, The Wildlife Factor, in Disease Emergence and Resurgence: The Wildlife-Human Connection found at http://www.nwhc.usgs.gov/publications/disease_emergence/index.jsp.[Includes illustrations and tables].

Rapid Amplification of West Nile Virus: The Role of Hatch-Year Birds Show Full Record 3571

Resource Type(s): Journal (Articles)
Searchable Keywords: Disease transmission Epidemiology Human health Illinois Mosquitoes Vectors (disease) Wild birds Zoonoses
Abstract: From abstract (online abstract only): Epizootic transmission of West Nile virus (WNV) often intensifies rapidly leading to increasing risk of human infection, but the processes underlying amplification remain poorly understood. We quantified epizootic WNV transmission in communities of mosquitoes and birds in the Chicago, Illinois (USA) region during 2005 and 2006. Using quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) methods, we detected WNV in 227 of 1195 mosquito pools (19%) in 2005 and 205 of 1...

Abstract: The Vector Ecology Newsletter is published by the Society for Vector Ecology. Back issues beginning from 1999 are available online. Much of the content is about public health and controlling disease carrying vectors, but some article topics discuss wildlife disease.

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

Source: Emerging Infectious Diseases. 2008 Apr;14(4):600-607.
Resource Type(s): Journal (Articles), Photographs from Slide, Table or Spreadsheet
Searchable Keywords: Avian influenza Disease transmission Ducks Epidemiology Immunochemistry Influenza A Virus, H5N1Subtype Influenza in birds Pathology Research Reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction Vectors (disease) Virology
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...
