Poultry Infection with Influenza Viruses of Wild Bird Origin, China, 2016

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2018
Migratory birds may play a role in transmission of avian influenza virus. We report the infection of black-tailed gulls and chickens in eastern China with avian influenza (H13N2) and (H13N8) viruses.

Survey on Visualization of Information Diffusion over Networks

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Information Diffusion (ID) describes how a value (e.g., a pathogen, a rumor, a packet) spreads through an underlying “medium” network of elements (e.g., a social or computer network). Understanding the information diffusion process is essential to predicting trends, controlling misinformation, and enhancing decision‐making as well as ...

The surveillance and risk assessment of wild birds in northern Australia for highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1 virus

, 2012
Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI), caused by infection with H5N1 virus, is a transboundary disease which has had a significant socio-economic impact on the poultry production systems of Eurasia, and spillover events with mortality in humans and ...

H5N1 Clade 2.2 Polymorphism Tracing Identifies Influenza Recombination and Potential Vaccine Targets

, 2007
Highly pathogenic Influenza A H5N1 was first identified in Guangdong Province in 1996, followed by human cases in Hong Kong in 1997 1. The number of confirmed human cases now exceeds 300 and the associated Case Fatality Rate exceeds 60% 2.

Avian influenza virus surveillance in migratory birds in Egypt revealed a novel reassortant H6N2 subtype

Avian Research, 2019
Background Avian influenza viruses (AIVs) have been identified from more than 100 different species of wild birds around the globe. Wild migratory birds can act as potential spreaders for AIVs to domestic birds between different countries.

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

Epidemiology study and risk assessments of highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1 in free flying birds in Thailand

, 2010
The highly pathogenic avian influenza virus H5N1 was the cause of a pandemic of avian influenza in poultry throughout many parts of the world. The role of wild birds in the transmission and cycling of this virus has been uncertain and the current study ...

Using customs data to understand overlooked trade in non‐CITES birds between Africa and Asia

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The international trade in live birds poses risks to animals, people, and biodiversity. To effectively mitigate these risks, decision‐makers require information on the volume, dynamics, and direction of trade. Despite Africa once being the largest exporter of birds by region, very little data exist on recent trade in live birds not listed on ...

Role for migratory wild birds in the global spread of avian influenza [PDF]

, 2016
Avian influenza viruses affect both poultry production and public health. A subtype H5N8 (clade 2.3.4.4) virus, following an outbreak in poultry in South Korea in January 2014, rapidly spread worldwide in 2014–2015.

Estimating the total mortality of seabirds following a marine heat wave

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Marine heat waves detrimentally affect a range of marine species, including seabirds, and are increasing in frequency and severity. When thousands of dead seabirds wash up on beaches, the public becomes concerned. However, the number of dead birds recorded on beaches is only a fraction of the total mortality; most birds perish at sea.
