Infectious bronchitis vaccine virus detection and part-S1 genetic variation following single or dual inoculation in broiler chicks. [PDF]
An investigation was undertaken of the extent of genetic variation occurring within infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) vaccine strains following vaccination of day-old broiler chicks. Chicks were divided into seven groups, with two groups receiving single

This study integrates two decades of surveillance with genomic and structural analyses to decipher how spike protein glycosylation haplotypes drive avian coronavirus evolution. We uncover how specific glycosylation patterns associate with receptor‐binding affinity, shape global transmission dynamics, and correlate with clinical outcomes.

Bridging the gap: improving methodologies for future avian microbiome research
Recent advances in the field of wild avian microbiome research have significantly deepened our understanding of the eco‐evolutionary dynamics of bird–microbe interactions. Consequently, the field is now approaching a pivotal moment in uncovering the ultimate factors shaping avian microbiome structure, especially in relation to birds' ecological ...

Bacteriological and epidemiological studies of campylobacter spp. in Swedish broilers [PDF]
Campylobacter jejuni is the most frequently reported cause of bacterial gastrointestinal illness in humans in Sweden. Chicken products are considered an important risk factor for human infection.

The microorganisms living in a host's gut are important for digestion and immune response and are an important facet to understanding host ecology. For tuatara, the gut microbiome presents an opportunity to examine bacteria associated with a long‐lived and evolutionarily distinct reptile and to understand how tuatara ecology is mediated or supported by

Comparison of Seven DNA Metabarcoding Sampling Methods to Assess Diet in a Large Avian Predator
DNA metabarcoding is a rapidly advancing tool for diet assessment in wildlife ecology. Studies have used a variety of field collection methods to evaluate diet; however, there is a pressing need to understand the differences among sampling methods and ...

Risk factors and likelihood of Campylobacter colonization in broiler flocks
Campylobacter was investigated in cecal droppings, feces, and cloacal swabs of 22 flocks of 3 to 5 week-old broilers. Risk factors and the likelihood of the presence of this agent in these flocks were determined.
