Novel Reassortant Clade 2.3.4.4 Avian Influenza A(H5N8) Virus in Wild Aquatic Birds, Russia, 2016
The emergence of novel avian influenza viruses in migratory birds is of concern because of the potential for virus dissemination during fall migration. We report the identification of novel highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses of subtype H5N8, clade

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

Experimental infection of dogs with highly pathogenic avian influenza virus (H5N8)
During the highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5N8 virus outbreak in Korea, a dog in layer farm contaminated by H5N8 was reported seropositive for HPAI H5N8. To investigate the possibility of adaptation and transmission of HPAI H5N8 to dogs, we experimentally inoculated dogs with H5N8.

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 ...

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

Gamma‐irradiated Newcastle disease virus: an alternative inactivated oncolytic virotherapy
To overcome biological risks associated with using live NDV as an oncolytic therapy, we developed gamma‐NDV as a safer alternative. Using a murine model for skin cancer, we show that intratumor administration of gamma‐NDV outperformed live‐NDV in terms of reducing tumor growth and improving overall animal survival. Abstract Newcastle disease virus (NDV)

Prediction of specific virus outbreaks made from the increased concentration of a new class of virus genomic peptides, replikins. [PDF]
Advance warning of pathogen outbreaks has not been possible heretofore. A new class of genomic peptides associated with rapid replication was discovered and named replikins. Software was designed to analyze replikins quantitatively.

ABSTRACT Over the past two decades, West Africa has experienced recurrent incursions of Goose/Guangdong‐lineage highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) A(H5N1), with Nigeria as a hotspot for repeated introductions and sustained circulation. Since 2021, European‐origin clade 2.3.4.4b H5Nx genotypes, particularly EA‐2020‐C, have predominated in regional

Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza A(H5N1) Virus in Poultry, Nigeria, 2015
To the Editor: In Nigeria, from February 2006 through July 2008, outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) subtype H5N1 virus infection in poultry negatively affected animal and public health as well as the agricultural sector and trade. These outbreaks were caused by viruses belonging to genetic clades 2.2 and 2.2.1 (1).
