Is prevention better than cure? An empirical investigation for the case of avian influenza [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
The new EU Animal Health Strategy suggests a shift in emphasis away from control towards prevention and surveillance activities for the management of threats to animal health. The optimal combination of these actions will differ among diseases and depend

Full genome comparison and characterization of avian H10 viruses with different pathogenicity in Mink (Mustela vison) reveals genetic and functional differences in the non-structural gene

open access: yesVirology Journal, 2010
Background The unique property of some avian H10 viruses, particularly the ability to cause severe disease in mink without prior adaptation, enabled our study.

High pathogenicity avian influenza in Australia and beyond: could avian influenza cause the next human pandemic?

open access: yesMicrobiology Australia
The primary natural reservoir for avian influenza viruses is wild waterfowl. In poultry, some of these viruses can evolve into high pathogenicity avian influenza viruses (HPAIVs) that cause significant disease. HPAIV H5N1 clade 2.3.4.4b is a current variant of concern that has caused mass die-offs of wild birds, land and marine mammals all across the ...

A systematic review of avian influenza virus transmission models: Gaps and opportunities

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Highly pathogenic avian influenza virus (HPAIV) increasingly threatens wild birds, poultry, non‐human mammals and humans, yet gaps and opportunities in avian influenza virus (AIV) transmission modelling have not been comprehensively synthesized.

Impact of climate on Australian, non‐Vector‐borne infectious animal diseases: A scoping review

open access: yesAustralian Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Changes to Australia's climate continue to be increasingly relevant for human, animal and planetary health, and have far‐reaching impacts on disease emergence and food security. There is a deficit of knowledge in Australia around how climatic conditions are affecting infectious animal diseases, beyond the more obvious spatial distribution changes of ...

COMPARATIVE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF INFLUENZA INFECTION IN MACROPHAGES DIFFERENTIATED FROM MONOCYTES OF THP-1 (INFLUENZA A VIRUSES OF SUBTYPES H1, H5 AND H9)

open access: yesИнфекция и иммунитет, 2018
Macrophages (Mf) play an important role in the pathogenesis of influenza infection, but the obtaining of Mf in large quantities is difficult. In connection with this, in the present study, THP-1 monocytes differentiated by phorbol ether (PMA) into ...

Variable Infection Outcomes in Repeated Experimental Challenges of Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar) With an Infectious Salmon Anaemia Virus Isolate

open access: yesJournal of Fish Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Infectious salmon anaemia (ISA) affects Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) and is caused by the ISA virus (ISAV). The disease is associated with ISAV strains with deletions in the hemagglutinin‐esterase protein, named HPRΔ variants. The present study was initially designed as a vaccine efficacy study against ISA.
