What Distinguishes Highly Pathogenic Staphylococci from Medium- and Non-pathogenic?

2012
Members of the genus Staphylococcus are widespread as commensals of humans and animals where they colonize the skin or mucous membranes. While this coexistence remains mostly untroubled, especially for the healthy host, the bacteria may pose a serious threat for the human or animal host when they get access to inner layers of the body through breaches ...

Highly pathogenic H7N7 avian influenza in Italy

Veterinary Record, 2014
Since 1997, there have been several occurrences of low pathogenicity avian influenza (LPAI) H5 and H7 viruses in Italy. Furthermore, H5N2 and H7N1 highly pathogenic (HP) AI viruses were responsible for two epidemics in poultry in 1997 and 1999–2000, respectively.

Highly pathogenic avian influenza.

Revue scientifique et technique (International Office of Epizootics), 2001
Highly pathogenic (HP) avian influenza (AI) (HPAI) is an extremely contagious, multi-organ systemic disease of poultry leading to high mortality, and caused by some H5 and H7 subtypes of type A influenza virus, family Orthomyxoviridae. However, most AI virus strains are mildly pathogenic (MP) and produce either subclinical infections or respiratory and/

Pathogenicity of Chinese H5N1 highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses in pigeons

Archives of Virology, 2008
It has long been thought that pigeons are resistant against H5 highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) viruses. Recently, however, highly pathogenic H5N1 avian influenza viruses have demonstrated distinct biological properties that may be capable of causing disease in pigeons.

History of highly pathogenic avian influenza.

Revue scientifique et technique (International Office of Epizootics), 2009
The most widely quoted date for the beginning of the recorded history of avian influenza (AI) is 1878, when researchers first differentiated a disease of poultry (initially known as fowl plague but later renamed highly pathogenic avian influenza) from other diseases with high mortality rates.

Highly Virulent Pathogens - a Post Antibiotic Era?

British Journal of Theatre Nursing (United Kingdom), 1998
The spectrum of infectious diseases is changing rapidly. Emerging infectious agents present an intriguing constellation of nosocomial challenges. Antimicrobial resistance results in increased morbidity, mortality and costs of health care. Resistance to antimicrobial agents has been recorded since 1940 with penicillin resistant Escherichia coli (E coli)

Hemagglutinin Displayed Baculovirus Protects Against Highly Pathogenic Influenza

Vaccine, 2010
Baculovirus (BV) replicating in insect cells can express a foreign gene product as part of its genome. The influenza hemagglutinin (HA) can be expressed from BV and displayed on the surface of baculovirus (HA-DBV). In this study we first generated six recombinant baculoviruses that expressed chimeric HAs with segments of the BV glycoprotein (gp64). The
