[Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza--Monitoring of Migratory Waterfowl] [In Japanese] Show Full Record 1741
Source: Nippon Rinsho. Japanese Journal of Clinical Medicine. 2006 Oct;64(10):1934-41. Resource Type(s): Journal (Articles) Searchable Keywords: Avian influenza China Low pathogenic avian influenza Migratory birds Siberia Virology Abstract: From abstract (online abstract only): Since 1979, the group belonging to Departments of Veterinary Microbiology, Veterinary Public Health and the Avian Zoonoses Research Centre, Faculty of Agriculture, Tottori University is continuing isolation of avian influenza virus from such migratory waterfowls as whistling swan, pintail and tufted dugs flying from Siberia and/or northern China. They have already isolated many interesting influenza viruses. Serotype of the isolates is various; some H5 and H...
[Isolation of Avian Influenza from Migratory Waterfowl in Germany: Results of a Two Year Study] [Acticle in German] Show Full Record 1184
Source: Berl Munch Tierarztl Wochenschr. 2006 Mar-Apr;119(3-4):132-9 Resource Type(s): Journal (Articles) Searchable Keywords: Avian influenza Epidemiology Germany Migratory birds Surveillance (monitoring) Abstract: From abstract (online abstract only): In order to determine the actual prevalence of avian influenza viruses (AIV) in wild birds in Germany, extensive surveillance studies were carried out between March 2003 and January 2005. More than 3.000 samples of 79 different species of wild birds (migratory and resident birds) were taken and 1.151 established pools investigated. Samples came from 80 different regions of Germany. Forty AIV isolates representing 14 combinations of eight different hemaggluti...
A Virological Survey in Migrating Waders and Other Waterfowl in One of the Most Important Resting Sites of Germany Show Full Record 1304
Source: Journal of Veterinary Medicine. Series B: Infectious Diseases and Veterinary Public Health. 2006 Apr;53(3):105-10. Resource Type(s): Journal (Articles) Searchable Keywords: Avian influenza Epidemiology Germany Migratory birds Virology Waterfowl Wild birds Abstract: From abstract (online abstract only): Wild birds are considered a potential reservoir or a carrier of viral diseases and may therefore play a role in the epidemiology of economically important or zoonotic diseases. In 2001 and 2002, a survey with special emphasis on virus isolation in migrating waders and some other birds were conducted. In one of the most important inland resting sites for migratory waterfowl, tracheal and cloacal swabs were collected from 465 waders representing 19 different s...

Source: U.S. Department of Agriculture Resource Type(s): Management Plans and Reports Searchable Keywords: Biological sampling Data management Federal programs Flyways Migratory birds Sampling design Sentinel surveillance Specimen handling Surveillance (monitoring) Target species Abstract: From report: The goal of this plan is to describe the essential components of a unified national system for the early detection of HPAI, specifically highly pathogenic H5N1 avian influenza, in migratory birds. While the immediate concern is a potential introduction of highly pathogenic H5N1 avian influenza into the U.S., the development of a system that is capable of detecting the introduction of all HPAI viruses through migratory birds would significantly improve the biosecurity of the Nation. ...
Anatidae Migration in the Western Palearctic and Spread of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza H5N1 Virus Show Full Record 1740
Source: Emerging Infectious Diseases. 2006 Nov; 12 (11): 1650-6. Resource Type(s): Journal (Articles) Searchable Keywords: Avian influenza Disease transmission Epidemiology Flyways Influenza A Virus, H5N1Subtype Migratory birds Abstract: From abstract: During the second half of 2005, highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5N1 virus spread rapidly from central Asia to eastern Europe. The relative roles of wild migratory birds and the poultry trade are still unclear, given that little is yet known about the range of virus hosts, precise movements of migratory birds, or routes of illegal poultry trade. We document and discuss the spread of the HPAI H5N1 virus in relation to species-specific flyways of Anatidae species (ducks, ge...
Applying the Scientific Method when Assessing the Influence of Migratory Birds on the Dispersal of H5N1 Show Full Record 3568
Source: Virology Journal. 2007 Dec 4; 4: 132 Resource Type(s): Journal (Articles) Searchable Keywords: Avian influenza Disease transmission Migratory birds Poultry Wild birds 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... Assessment of Virus Movement Across Continents: Using Northern Pintails (Anas acuta) as a Test Show Full Record 3531
Source: U.S. Geological Survey. Alaska Science Center Resource Type(s): Maps, Methods and Techniques, Table or Spreadsheet Searchable Keywords: Avian influenza Disease spread Disease transmission Genetics Migratory birds Migratory patterns Telemetry 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...
