History of Avian Metapneumovirus Subtype C in the United States. [PDF]
Avian DisSince its first detection in turkeys in South Africa in the late 1970s, avian metapneumovirus (aMPV) has emerged as a major pathogen of concern for poultry worldwide, causing acute respiratory disease with significant economic consequences. The virus has spread throughout every continent besides Australia, with distinct subtypes (A-D) identified in ...

AN UPDATE ON THE EPIDEMIOLOGY OF AVIAN METAPNEUMOVIRUS IN ITALY
, 2014 A molecular survey on Avian Metapneumovirus (aMPV) diffusion was performed from 2011 to 2013 in 122 turkey and 48 broiler farms, located in a densely populated poultry area of Northern Italy. Turkeys were all vaccinated at 1 day of age in the hatchery. aMPV was detected using RTnested PCR or qRT-PCR; both tests are able to detect and differentiate aMPV

Molecular detection and isolation of avian metapneumovirus in Mexico [PDF]
Avian Pathology, 2014 We conducted a longitudinal study to detect and isolate avian metapneumovirus (aMPV) in two highly productive poultry areas in Mexico. A total of 968 breeder hens and pullets from 2 to 73 weeks of age were analysed. Serology was performed to detect aMPV antibodies and 105 samples of tracheal tissue were collected, pooled by age, and used for attempted ...

Recovery of Avian Metapneumovirus Subgroup C from cDNA: Cross-Recognition of Avian and Human Metapneumovirus Support Proteins [PDF]
Journal of Virology, 2006 ABSTRACT Avian metapneumovirus (AMPV) causes an acute respiratory disease in turkeys and is associated with “swollen head syndrome” in chickens, contributing to significant economic losses for the U.S. poultry industry. With a long-term goal of developing a better vaccine for controlling AMPV in the United States, we established a reverse ...

Molecular comparisons of full length metapneumovirus (MPV) genomes, including newly determined French AMPV-C and -D isolates, further supports possible subclassification within the MPV Genus. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Four avian metapneumovirus (AMPV) subgroups (A-D) have been reported previously based on genetic and antigenic differences. However, until now full length sequences of the only known isolates of European subgroup C and subgroup D viruses (duck and turkey

Seroprevalence of avian metapneumovirus infection in broiler and broiler breeder chickens in Iran
Veterinární Medicína, 2011 Avian metapneumovirus causes an acute highly contagious upper respiratory tract infection primarily of turkeys and chickens. The disease can cause significant economic losses in turkey and chicken flocks, particularly when exacerbated by secondary ...

Influenza and Other Respiratory Viruses, Volume 17, Issue 12, December 2023., 2023 Abstract Strengthening surveillance systems is a key aspect of outbreak response and was particularly important during the COVID‐19 pandemic. Respiratory pathogens spread rapidly, and laboratory capacity is key to monitoring the spread. Prior to the pandemic, Iran had established a rapid response team and laboratory network to provide identification ...

Pathogenic bacteria associated with outbreaks of respiratory disease in Iranian broiler farms
Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 9, Issue 4, Page 1675-1684, July 2023., 2023 Phylogenetic relationships among MG, MS and ORT strains based on the partial sequence of the mgc2, vlhA, and 16S rRNA genes, respectively. The trees were generated by the neighbor‐joining method using MEGA X software. The sequences from this study are indicated by the triangle shaped symbol.

Viral infections at the animal–human interface—Learning lessons from the SARS‐CoV‐2 pandemic
Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 16, Issue 7, Page 1397-1411, July 2023., 2023 Abstract This Lilliput explores the current epidemiological and virological arguments for a zoonotic origin of the COVID‐19 pandemic. While the role of bats, pangolins and racoon dogs as viral reservoirs has not yet been proven, a spill‐over of a coronavirus infection from animals into humans at the Huanan food market in Wuhan has a much greater ...
