Updated Values for Molecular Diagnosis for Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza Virus [PDF]

Viruses, 2012
Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) viruses of the H5N1 strain pose a pandemic threat. H5N1 strain virus is extremely lethal and contagious for poultry. Even though mortality is 59% in infected humans, these viruses do not spread efficiently between humans. In 1997, an outbreak of H5N1 strain with human cases occurred in Hong Kong.

Development of DNA-Biochip for Identification of Influenza A Virus Subtypes

Проблемы особо опасных инфекций, 2012
Developed was the DNA-biochip to identify subtypes of influenza A virus, pathogenic for humans. Microchip was capable of detecting H1, H3, H5-subtypes of hemagglutinin (including H1-subtype of pandemic A/H1N1(2009) influenza virus ) and neuraminidase ...

Investigating poultry trade patterns to guide avian influenza surveillance and control: a case study in Vietnam [PDF]

, 2016
Live bird markets are often the focus of surveillance activities monitoring avian influenza viruses (AIV) circulating in poultry. However, in order to ensure a high sensitivity of virus detection and effectiveness of management actions, poultry ...

Drivers of bat researchers’ intent to adopt field hygiene practices

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Infectious disease is a growing threat to wildlife, with zoonotic transmission most likely at the human–wildlife interface. One underappreciated activity at this interface is fieldwork with wild animals, but associated risks can be mitigated through field hygiene (FH) practices, such as using personal protective equipment and other appropriate

Interventional human ocular safety experiments for 222‐nm far‐ultraviolet‐C lamp irradiation

Photochemistry and Photobiology, Volume 101, Issue 2, Page 517-526, March/April 2025.
To directly assess the ocular safety of 222‐nm far‐ultraviolet‐C (UVC) irradiation in humans, five subjects were exposed to 222‐nm UVC at doses of 22, 50, and 75 mJ/cm2. The findings indicate that far‐UVC irradiation does not cause “clinically significant photokeratitis” or long‐term ocular damage, though it may induce temporary discomfort.

Emergence of H7 highly pathogenic avian influenza virus from low pathogenicity avian influenza virus

, 2017
Outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza virus (HPAIV) may result in the infection of millions of poultry, causing devastating disease and up to 100% mortality. Avian influenza outbreaks and laboratory experiments have shown that HPAIV can emerge from low pathogenicity avian influenza virus (LPAIV) precursors. The multi-basic cleavage site (MBCS)

Human infections associated with wild birds. [PDF]

, 2008
IntroductionWild birds and especially migratory species can become long-distance vectors for a wide range of microorganisms. The objective of the current paper is to summarize available literature on pathogens causing human disease that have been ...

Animal Segregation: The Biopolitics of Concentrated Pig Farming

Tijdschrift voor Economische en Sociale Geografie, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper explores the possibility to think through the concept of animal segregation to understand the more‐than‐human geographies of livestock animals. By redirecting the analytical tools for studying the spatial separation of humans to the segregation of animals, this paper contributes to understanding the geographical processes of ...

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 ...

Improving Public Health Intervention Design for Food‐Borne Zoonotic Disease Control: Insights From a Situational Analysis of Meat Consumers’ Knowledge and Practices in Burkina Faso

Public Health Challenges, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
This study highlights that most consumers recognize that meat can transmit zoonotic diseases. However, substantial gaps persist in specific knowledge and in the consistent adoption of safe handling practices. By combining community education, improved market hygiene and One Health initiatives, policy‐makers can substantially reduce exposure to zoonotic
