Characterization of a genetic and antigenic variant of avian paramyxovirus 6 isolated from a migratory wild bird, the red-necked stint (Calidris ruficollis) [PDF]

, 2016
A hemagglutinating virus (8KS0813) was isolated from a red-necked stint. Hemagglutination inhibition and neutralization tests indicated that 8KS0813 was antigenically related to a prototype strain, APMV-6/duck/Hong Kong/18/199/77, but with an 8- and 16 ...

Coupling wastewater‐based epidemiology with data‐driven machine learning for managing public health risks

Risk Analysis, Volume 45, Issue 10, Page 2974-2982, October 2025.
Abstract Traditional health surveillance methods play a critical role in public health safety but are limited by the data collection speed, coverage, and resource requirements. Wastewater‐based epidemiology (WBE) has emerged as a cost‐effective and rapid tool for detecting infectious diseases through sewage analysis of disease biomarkers.

Trends of Human Metapneumovirus Outbreaks in Bangladesh: Probable Risks and Preventive Strategies

Health Science Reports, Volume 8, Issue 9, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Human metapneumovirus (hMPV) is one of the major pathogens associated with respiratory tract infection and is a rising concern for people with compromised immunity worldwide. Amid the global concern about the increased incidence of hMPV, we found a significant lack of studies on the epidemiology of this virus in Bangladesh.

Detection of avian metapneumovirus field infection via reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and ELISA in two layer farms in Johore [PDF]

, 2009
Avian metapneumovirus (AMPV) infection which is known as 'swollen head syndrome' has been shown to be prevalent in poultry farms in Malaysia. Two layer farms in Johor denoted as Farm A and Farm B, with previous history of AMPV disease outbreak, were the ...

Molecular studies towards improved avian metapneumovirus vaccines [PDF]

, 2015
The work undertaken in this thesis centres around molecular studies on avian metapneumovirus (AMPV) subtypes A and B. The findings and outcomes may be of use in the future development of improved vaccines against the disease. Since the emergence of AMPV a range of live attenuated vaccines have been developed and these are used in the control of the ...

Development of a Rapid Isothermal Assay for Detection of Adenovirus Types Important in Respiratory Infections

Influenza and Other Respiratory Viruses, Volume 19, Issue 8, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Background Nucleic acid amplification tests (NAATs) for human adenoviruses (HAdVs) causing respiratory infections usually target the hexon gene. However, new HAdV types with substantial variations in the hexon gene may not be detected. Thus, we focus on NAATs based on a conserved region in the penton gene to detect all HAdV types causing ...

Community‐Acquired Chlamydia psittaci Severe Pneumonia: A Case Report

Case Reports in Infectious Diseases, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Chlamydia psittaci, the causative agent of psittacosis, is an intracellular bacterium typically transmitted from birds to humans, leading to atypical pneumonia. We present a case of a 60‐year‐old man with no reported bird exposure but a history of working as a chief cook, potentially exposed to poultry.

Molecular assays for detection of human metapneumovirus [PDF]

, 2003
The recent description of the respiratory pathogen human metapneumovirus (hMPV) has highlighted a deficiency in current diagnostic techniques for viral agents associated with acute lower respiratory tract infections.

Advancing the field of viroporins—Structure, function and pharmacology: IUPHAR Review 39

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 181, Issue 22, Page 4450-4490, November 2024.
Viroporins possess important potential as antiviral targets due to their critical roles during virus life cycles, spanning from virus entry to egress. Although the antiviral amantadine targets the M2 viroporin of influenza A virus, successful progression of other viroporin inhibitors into clinical use remains challenging.
