Characterization of avipoxviruses for use in recombinant vaccines
… demonstrated in over 60 types of wild and exotic birds as well as domestic birds. Avipox viruses have been isolated and characterised from fowls, quails, canaries, parrots and lovebirds. This work describes the first isolation of a poxvirus from Jackass penguins (Spheniscus dermersus) and the …

Genetic and phenotypic analysis of novel South African Avian poxviruses
… are important pathogens of both wild and domestic birds and exhibit a large degree of intragenus diversity at a genomic level. These viruses are known to differ in growth characteristics (in vitro and in vivo), virulence, and cross-protection, with little known about the genomic …

Differentially expressed genes in aortic cells from atherosclerosis-resistant and atherosclerosis-susceptible pigeons
… in the pigeon were more closely related to non-domestic birds such as the turkey vulture and oriental stork. Despite this categorical exception, the recently published chicken genome was an ideal resource for identifying differentially expressed genes in the pigeon. The results were interpreted …

Prevelance of Avian Influenza Viruses in Northern Zambia
… of avian influenza viruses in wild waterfowl and domestic birds on the wetlands of Northern Zambia (Luapula and Northern Provinces). The purpose of the research was to establish if there are any influenza viruses circulating in this region in order to determine the level of risk Zambia faces as a …

INTERSPECIES TRANSMISSION AND HOST RESTRICTION OF INFLUENZA A VIRUSES
… cats, dogs, ferrets, and sea mammals as well as domestic and wild birds. Although influenza A viruses shows host range restrictions, interspecies transmission have been documented at many occasions. Swine have been proposed as an intermediate hosts for influenza viruses since they are susceptible …

Breeding and migration ecology of bar-headed goose Anser indicus and swan goose Anser cygnoides in Asia
… different geographical populations of wild and domestic birds through their long distance migration. Species distributions are expected to shift in response to climate change, and swan and bar-headed geese likely will alter their distribution and migratory behavior in response but constrained by …

Prevalence and Genetic Characterization of Avian Influenza Virus in Ring-billed and Franklin's Gulls in Minnesota
… for avian influenza virus (AIV) are wild waterbirds such as ducks and gulls. In Minnesota, gulls are abundant and known to visit poultry farms, yet are underrepresented in AIV wild bird surveillance efforts. The purpose of this research was to fill part of this surveillance gap by studying AIV …

Phylogenetic approaches for quantifying the genotypic diversity of influenza viruses
Wild aquatic birds are thought to be the main reservoir for Influenza A viruses, hosting the largest burden of influenza diversity generated by high frequencies of co-infection and segment reassortment. The recently emerged avian influenza viruses that spilled-over into the human population were …

The role of domestic ducks in the maintenance and spread of avian influenza viruses in Indonesia
Wild waterfowl and aquatic birds serve as the natural reservoir host for influenza A viruses. As the reservoir, wild waterfowl play an important role in the persistence and transmission of influenza viruses among bird populations and to other mammalian species. In many Asian countries, domestic …
