Alarming situation of emerging H5 and H7 avian influenza and effective control strategies

open access: yesEmerging Microbes and Infections, 2023
Avian influenza viruses continue to present challenges to animal and human health. Viruses bearing the hemagglutinin (HA) gene of the H5 subtype and H7 subtype have caused 2634 human cases around the world, including more than 1000 deaths.

Streptozotocin induced hyperglycemia in the axolotl

open access: yesDevelopmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Diabetes is a group of diseases characterized by loss of β cell mass and/or function, resulting in hyperglycemia. With no established curative treatment, this has initiated research in β cell regeneration. Current animal models have either limited regenerative capacity (mice) or small size and evolutionary distance from humans ...

Surveillance of Influenza Virus A in Migratory Waterfowl in Northern Europe

open access: yesEmerging Infectious Diseases, 2007
We conducted large-scale, systematic sampling of influenza type A virus in migratory waterfowl (mostly mallards [Anas platyrhynchos]) at Ottenby Bird Observatory, southeast Sweden.

Beyond birds: rethinking bird‐centered pathogen models in light of insect migration

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Migration redistributes biomass, nutrients, and pathogens across ecosystems. For decades, migratory birds have been treated as the default long‐distance pathogen vectors, shaping both conceptual frameworks and empirical models of disease ecology.

Isolation and characterization of H4N6 avian influenza viruses from mallard ducks in Beijing, China.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
The novel H7N9 influenza virus, which has caused severe disease in humans in China, is a reassortant with surface genes derived from influenza viruses in wild birds. This highlights the importance of monitoring influenza viruses in these hosts.

Spread of HPAIV H5N1 from south china agro-ecosystems through wild birds migration: a multidisciplinary approach [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Agricultural intensification in South China has increased densities of domestic ducks raised on intensively irrigated paddy fields, an important factor of the persistence of H5N1 highly pathogenic avian influenza virus (AIV) persistence.

Further evidence of the circulation of PMV-4 and influenza viruses with N2 - 1957 enzyme in migratory waterfowls [PDF]

open access: yes, 1989
I n the years 1980—1984, one paramyxovirus type 4 and 11 influenza viruses were isolated from cloacal swabs collected from migratory waterfowls in Fed. Rep. Germany.

The risk of avian influenza in birds in Australia

open access: yesNew South Wales Public Health Bulletin, 2006
Avian influenza viruses may cause mild or severe disease in birds. There have been five recorded outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza in birds in Australia, all of which were caused by the H7 subtype. These were quickly controlled and similar coordinated responses are expected for possible future outbreaks of avian influenza.

Global analysis of annual survival among shorebirds reveals a negative effect of migration distance and a decline in recent decades

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Annual survival is a key demographic parameter driving population trends in wildlife populations. However, despite numerous species‐specific or regional studies, global reviews of the factors affecting the survival of declining taxa remain scarce. Here, we investigated annual survival of fledged immature and adult shorebirds, a globally‐distributed and
