Preliminary Epidemiology of Human Infections with Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza A(H7N9) Virus, China, 2017

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2017
We compared the characteristics of cases of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) and low pathogenic avian influenza (LPAI) A(H7N9) virus infections in China. HPAI A(H7N9) case-patients were more likely to have had exposure to sick and dead poultry in

First Serological Evidence of Avian Metapneumovirus and Infectious Laryngotracheitis Virus in Commercial Poultry in the Ashanti Region of Ghana

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 3, May 2026.
This study reports the first serological evidence of avian metapneumovirus and infectious laryngotracheitis virus in commercial poultry in Ghana. High aMPV seroprevalence (49%) and lower ILTV prevalence (7%) were detected, with some coinfection.

H7N6 highly pathogenic avian influenza in Mozambique, 2023

Emerging Microbes & Infections
On 13 October 2023, the National Directorate for Livestock Development in Mozambique was notified of a suspected outbreak of avian influenza in commercial layers. Samples were screened by real-time and conventional RT-PCR and were positive for both H7 and N6. Full genome sequences were obtained for three representative samples. Sequence analysis of the

Rapidly Expanding Range of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza Viruses

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2015
The movement of highly pathogenic avian influenza (H5N8) virus across Eurasia and into North America and the virus' propensity to reassort with co-circulating low pathogenicity viruses raise concerns among poultry producers, wildlife biologists, aviculturists, and public health personnel worldwide. Surveillance, modeling, and experimental research will

Intra- and interspecies transmission of H7N7 highly pathogenic avian influenza virus during the avian influenza epidemic in the Netherlands in 2003 [PDF]

The poultry epidemic of H7N7 highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) virus in the Netherlands in 2003 was probably the result of the introduction of an H7N7 low pathogenic avian influenza (LPAI) virus (by interspecies transmission from wild birds) and ...

Multiplex evaluation of influenza neutralizing antibodies with potential applicability to in-field serological studies [PDF]

, 2014
The increased number of outbreaks of H5 and H7 LPAI and HPAI viruses in poultry has major public and animal health implications. The continuous rapid evolution of these subtypes and the emergence of new variants influence the ability to undertake ...

Chlamydia avium‐associated hepatitis in a fancy pigeon (Columba livia f. domestica)

Veterinary Record Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 2, May 2026.
Abstract A 5‐year‐old, male, fancy pigeon (Columba livia f. domestica, 380 g), found dead without prior clinical signs, was submitted for diagnostic postmortem examination. Histologically, the animal exhibited heterophilic to mononuclear hepatitis consistent with avian chlamydiosis; however, Chlamydia psittaci‐specific real‐time polymerase chain ...

Chlorine Inactivation of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza Virus (H5N1)

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2007
To determine resistance of highly pathogenic avian influenza (H5N1) virus to chlorination, we exposed allantoic fluid containing 2 virus strains to chlorinated buffer at pH 7 and 8, at 5 degrees C. Free chlorine concentrations typically used in drinking water treatment are sufficient to inactivate the virus by >3 orders of magnitude.

Integumentary fibrosarcoma in a free‐living swan (Cygnus olor): Medical and welfare considerations

Veterinary Record Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 2, May 2026.
Abstract A 10‐kg adult male mute swan (Cygnus olor) of unknown age was admitted for investigations of two large ventral masses overlying the keel bone, which were discharging purulent material. The masses measured 8.9 × 2.1 cm and 4.2 × 3.2 cm. Empirical treatment with non‐steroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs and antimicrobials was instigated.
