Multiyear surveillance of influenza A virus in wild birds in Portugal [PDF]
This report presents the results of a multiyear (2005 to 2009) study of avian influenza virus (AIV) occurrence in wild birds in Portugal. A total of 5691 samples from wild birds belonging to 13 different orders were examined. Ninety-three samples tested positive for AIV by matrix reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction, giving a total ...

This study analyzed the spleen transcriptomes of different chicken breeds, identified key differentially expressed genes (EGR1, FOS, and DUSP1) that regulate resistance to Salmonella infection, and elucidated the underlying regulatory mechanisms, thereby providing new targets for disease‐resistant breeding in poultry.

Understanding aromaticity has evolved from benzene‐centric concepts to a broad multidimensional framework spanning organic, inorganic, and excited‐state systems. This review highlights ambiguities between magnetic, electronic, geometric, and energetic descriptors, emphasizing the need for unified, multi‐criteria approaches.

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

Wild Bird Influenza Survey, Canada, 2005
Of 4,268 wild ducks sampled in Canada in 2005, real-time reverse transcriptase-PCR detected influenza A matrix protein (M1) gene sequence in 37% and H5 gene sequence in 5%. Mallards accounted for 61% of samples, 73% of M1-positive ducks, and 90% of H5-positive ducks. Ducks hatched in 2005 accounted for 80% of the sample.
