Novel Reassortant Clade 2.3.4.4 Avian Influenza A(H5N8) Virus in Wild Aquatic Birds, Russia, 2016

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2017
The emergence of novel avian influenza viruses in migratory birds is of concern because of the potential for virus dissemination during fall migration. We report the identification of novel highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses of subtype H5N8, clade

Remission of anorexia nervosa after thyroidectomy: A report of two cases with Graves' disease and anorexia nervosa

Thyroid Research, 2011
We report two patients with anorexia nervosa and Graves' disease who received subtotal thyroidectomy for Graves' disease and concomitantly experienced remission from anorexia nervosa. Both were young women (aged 20 and 26) at the time of surgery.

Evaluation of the use of alternative sample types for mosquito-borne flavivirus surveillance: Using Usutu virus as a model

One Health, 2022
Wild birds are reservoirs of several zoonotic arboviruses including West Nile virus (WNV) and Usutu virus (USUV), and are often monitored as indicators for virus introduction and spread.

High-Resolution Spatial Distribution of Bird Movements Estimated from a Weather Radar Network

Remote Sensing, 2020
Weather radars provide detailed information on aerial movements of organisms. However, interpreting fine-scale radar imagery remains challenging because of changes in aerial sampling altitude with distance from the radar.

Patterns of Midichloria infection in avian-borne African ticks and their trans-Saharan migratory hosts

Parasites & Vectors, 2018
Background Ticks are obligate haematophagous ectoparasites of vertebrates and frequently parasitize avian species that can carry them across continents during their long-distance migrations. Ticks may have detrimental effects on the health state of their

Effects of immune status on stopover departure decisions are subordinate to those of condition, cloud cover and tailwind in autumn‐migrating common blackbirds Turdus merula

Journal of Avian Biology
Migratory birds encounter a large variety of parasites and pathogens en route and invest in immune defences to limit the risk and fitness costs of infection.
