Avian Influenza Viruses in Water Birds, Africa

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2007
We report the first large-scale surveillance of avian influenza viruses in water birds conducted in Africa. This study shows evidence of avian influenza viruses in wild birds, both Eurasian and Afro-tropical species, in several major wetlands of Africa.

Avian Influenza in Wild Birds, Central Coast of Peru

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2009
To determine genotypes of avian influenza virus circulating among wild birds in South America, we collected and tested environmental fecal samples from birds along the coast of Peru, June 2006–December 2007.

Pathogenic assessment of avian influenza viruses in migratory birds [PDF]

Emerging Microbes & Infections, 2021
ABSTRACTSeveral subtypes of avian influenza (AI) viruses have caused human infections in recent years; however, there is a severe knowledge gap regarding the capacity of wild bird viruses to infect mammals. To assess the risk of mammalian infection by AI viruses from their natural reservoirs, a panel of isolates from 34 wild birds was examined in ...

Ecology of Avian Influenza Virus in Birds [PDF]

The Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2008
Avian influenza A virus (an orthomyxovirus) is a zoonotic pathogen with a natural reservoir entirely in birds. The influenza virus genome is an 8-segment single-stranded RNA with high potential for in situ recombination. Two segments code for the hemagglutinin (H) and neuraminidase (N) antigens used for host-cell entry.

Influenza viruses in birds: rapid identification by counterimmunoelectrophoresis [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1979
Counterimmunoelectrophoresis with an antiserum raised in rabbits against the M protein of the avian N virus proved to be particularly useful for large-scale identification of influenza A virus isolates. Of a total of 231 hemagglutinating agents isolated from 1,656 rectal swabs collected from shore and open-country birds, 158 could be identified as ...

Avian influenza infections in birds – a moving target [PDF]

Influenza and Other Respiratory Viruses, 2007
Avian influenza (AI) is a complex infection of birds, of which the ecology and epidemiology have undergone substantial changes over the last decade. Avian influenza viruses infecting poultry can be divided into two groups. The very virulent viruses cause highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI), with flock mortality as high as 100%.

General practice veterinarians' attitudes towards avian influenza: A COM-B analysis of barriers to backyard poultry treatment. [PDF]

Vet Rec
Abstract Background The recent expansion of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5N1 to non‐avian species in the United States has intensified public health‐related concerns. In Great Britain, low veterinarian confidence in seeing and treating birds creates potential barriers to HPAI diagnosis and reporting.

On the Trail of Creativity: Dimensionality of Divergent Thinking and Its Relation With Cognitive Abilities, Personality, and Insight

European Journal of Personality, EarlyView., 2020
Abstract Divergent thinking (DT) is an important constituent of creativity that captures aspects of fluency and originality. The literature lacks multivariate studies that report relationships between DT and its aspects with relevant covariates, such as cognitive abilities, personality traits (e.g. openness), and insight. In two multivariate studies (N

AVIAN INFLUENZA INFECTIONS IN NONMIGRANT LAND BIRDS IN ANDEAN PERU [PDF]

Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 2012
As part of ongoing surveillance for avian influenza viruses (AIV) in Peruvian birds, in June 2008, we sampled 600 land birds of 177 species, using real-time reverse-transcription PCR. We addressed the assumption that AIV prevalence is low or nil among land birds, a hypodiesis that was not supported by the results-rather, we found AIV infections at ...
