Genetic Diversity of Recent Infectious Bursal Disease Viruses Isolated From Vaccinated Poultry Flocks in Malaysia

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2021
Vaccination is an essential component in controlling infectious bursal disease (IBD), however, there is a lack of information on the genetic characteristics of a recent infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) that was isolated from IBD vaccinated ...

Chickens prefer beautiful humans [PDF]

, 2002
We trained chickens to react to an average human female face but not to an average male face (or vice-versa). In a subsequent test, the animals showed preferences for faces consistent with human sexual preferences (obtained from university students ...

Microbial diversity and community composition of caecal microbiota in commercial and indigenous Indian chickens determined using 16s rDNA amplicon sequencing

Microbiome, 2018
The caecal microbiota plays a key role in chicken health and performance, influencing digestion and absorption of nutrients, and contributing to defence against colonisation by invading pathogens.

IRF7 Is Involved in Both STING and MAVS Mediating IFN-β Signaling in IRF3-Lacking Chickens

Journal of Immunology, 2019
Key Points More evidence is provided for the rationale behind the name of chicken IRF7. Chicken IRF7 participates in both MAVS- and STING-mediated IFN-β regulation. Chicken STING mediates the activation of IRF7 through a conserved SLQxSyS motif.

Evaluation of Escherichia coli isolates from healthy chickens to determine their potential risk to poultry and human health

PLoS ONE, 2017
Extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli (ExPEC) strains are important pathogens that cause diverse diseases in humans and poultry. Some E. coli isolates from chicken feces contain ExPEC-associated virulence genes, so appear potentially pathogenic ...

Gut microbiota-mediated protection against influenza virus subtype H9N2 in chickens is associated with modulation of the innate responses

Scientific Reports, 2018
Commensal gut microbiota plays an important role in health and disease. The current study was designed to assess the role of gut microbiota of chickens in the initiation of antiviral responses against avian influenza virus.
