AI4AI: Quantitative Methods for Classifying Host Species from Avian Influenza DNA Sequence [PDF]
Avian Influenza breakouts cause millions of dollars in damage each year globally, especially in Asian countries such as China and South Korea. The impact magnitude of a breakout directly correlates to time required to fully understand the influenza virus, particularly the interspecies pathogenicity.

Enhanced inhibition of Avian leukosis virus subgroup J replication by multi-target miRNAs
Background Avian leukosis virus (ALV) is a major infectious disease that impacts the poultry industry worldwide. Despite intensive efforts, no effective vaccine has been developed against ALV because of mutations that lead to resistant forms.

Punctuated evolution of influenza virus hemagglutinin (A/H1N1) under opposing migration and vaccination pressures [PDF]
Influenza virus contains two highly variable envelope glycoproteins, hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA). The structure and properties of HA, which is responsible for binding the virus to the cell that is being infected, change significantly when the virus is transmitted from avian or swine species to humans. Previously we identified much smaller

A major mode of transmission of avian leukosis virus (ALV) is from a dam that is viremic with and immunologically tolerant to ALV, through the egg to the progeny. The authors have produced a line of chickens transgenic for a defective ALV provirus that expresses envelope glycoprotein, but not infectious virus, and is very resistant to infection with ...

Virus evolution : the emergence of new ideas (and re-emergence of old ones) [PDF]
Reputed intractable, the question of the origin of viruses has long been neglected. In the modern literature 'Virus evolution' has come to refer to study more akin to population genetics, such as the world-wide scrutiny on new polymorphisms appearing daily in the H5N1 avian flu virus [1], than to the fundamental interrogation: where do viruses come ...

Periodic culling outperforms isolation and vaccination strategies in controlling Influenza A H5N6 outbreaks in the Philippines [PDF]
Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza A H5N6 is a mutated virus of Influenza A H5N1 and a new emerging infection that recently caused an outbreak in the Philippines. The 2017 H5N6 outbreak resulted in a depopulation of 667,184 domestic birds. In this study, we incorporate half-saturated incidence in our mathematical models and investigate three ...

Avian Leukosis Virus Subgroup J in Layer Chickens, China
To the Editor: In recent years, cases of avian leukosis virus subgroup J (ALV-J) infection and tumors in commercial layer chickens and breeders of egg-type chickens have been emerging in the People’s Republic of China. ALV-J was first isolated from meat-type chickens with myeloid leukosis in 1988.

Avian leukosis virus is a versatile eukaryotic platform for polypeptide display
Display technology refers to methods of generating libraries of modularly coded biomolecules and screening them for particular properties. Retroviruses are good candidates to be a eukaryotic viral platform for the display of polypeptides synthesized in eukaryotic cells.
