Role of Virus-Encoded microRNAs in Avian Viral Diseases
With total dependence on the host cell, several viruses have adopted strategies to modulate the host cellular environment, including the modulation of microRNA (miRNA) pathway through virus-encoded miRNAs.

Classification of Influenza Hemagglutinin Protein Sequences using Convolutional Neural Networks [PDF]
The Influenza virus can be considered as one of the most severe viruses that can infect multiple species with often fatal consequences to the hosts. The Hemagglutinin (HA) gene of the virus can be a target for antiviral drug development realised through accurate identification of its sub-types and possible the targeted hosts.

A recombinant avian leukosis virus subgroup j for directly monitoring viral infection and the selection of neutralizing antibodies. [PDF]
Avian leukosis virus subgroup J (ALV-J) has induced serious clinical outbreaks and has become a serious infectious disease of chickens in China. We describe here the creation of a recombinant ALV-J tagged with the enhanced green fluorescent protein ...

Application of Immunohistochemistry to Study of Avian Leukosis Virus
Summary A modification of the peroxidase-labelled antibody technique was applied to study the distribution of virus antigens in chicken cells infected with two serotypes (A and B) of avian leukosis virus (ALV). Type-specific chicken antisera reacted only with cells infected with virus of the homologous envelope serotype. When unfixed cells were exposed

Analysis of avian leukosis virus infections with an enzyme immunoassay [PDF]
An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for avian leukosis virus group-specific antigen was used to study infections with and shedding of avian leukosis virus in a commercial flock of chickens with a known high incidence of infection. Avian leukosis virus group-specific antigen was detected in serum or cloacal washings from 76% of a group of 100 ...

A 19-nucleotide insertion in the leader sequence of avian leukosis virus subgroup J contributes to its replication in vitro but is not related to its pathogenicity in vivo. [PDF]
Subgroup J avian leukosis virus (ALV-J) was first isolated from meat-type chickens that had developed myeloid leukosis and since 2008, ALV-J infections in chickens have become widespread in China.

The passage of cells can improve the detection rate of avian leukosis virus to facilitate the elimination of avian leukosis in chickens [PDF]
Abstract Avian leukosis (AL) is one of the most harmful diseases to the poultry industry in China. The detection of the avian leukosis virus (ALV) p27 antigen plays a decisive role in the elimination of avian leukosis. To explore the influence of passaging cells on the detection rate of the ALV p27 antigen, 21 aseptic anticoagulated blood ...

A systematic review of mechanistic models used to study avian influenza virus transmission and control [PDF]
The global spread of avian influenza A viruses in domestic birds is causing dramatic economic and social losses. Various mechanistic models have been developed in an attempt to better understand avian influenza transmission and to evaluate the effectiveness of control measures.

Novel mutation of avian leukosis virus subgroup J from Tibetan chickens
Tibetan chickens are descendants of the ancestral red jungle fowl Gallus gallus. Very little is known about pathogens in Tibetan chickens living in the high-altitude environment.
