Epidemiology and risk factor analysis of avian influenza virus
Background: The avian influenza virus may cause severe outbreaks in the poultry population and may occasionally infect humans exposed to infected poultry. The relative occurrence of the disease varies upon the infectious agent and the subtype, the composition of the population exposed and prior …

QCM Aptasensor for Rapid and Specific Detection of Avian Influenza Virus
<p>There has been a need for rapid detection of avian influenza virus (AIV) H5N1 due to it being a potential pandemic threat. Most of the current methods, including culture isolation and PCR, are very sensitive and specific but require specialized laboratories and trained personnel in order to …

Prevalence and Genetic Characterization of Avian Influenza Virus in Ring-billed and Franklin's Gulls in Minnesota
The natural reservoirs 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 …

Prevelance of Avian Influenza Viruses in Northern Zambia
This study described the prevalence 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 role of domestic ducks in the maintenance and spread of avian influenza viruses in Indonesia
… 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 ducks are raised for meat …

Glycan characterizations with application in metal ion binding, the 1918 influenza virus neuraminidase formation and human receptors
… neuraminidase (NA) of the 1918 influenza virus (H1N1) has active (tetramer) and inactive forms (monomer/dimer) with difference residing in their N-glycosylations. A structural analysis was carried out on the released N-glycans from both tetramer and dimer forms. Significant …

H5N1 Influenza Virus Induces a Parkinsonian Pathology
<p> The greatest threat for an influenza pandemic at this time is posed by the highly pathogenic H5N1 avian influenza virus. To date, 63% of the 436 known human cases of H5N1 infection have proven fatal. Animals infected by H5N1 viruses have demonstrated acute neurological signs ranging from mild …

CHARACTERIZATION OF INFLUENZA NUCLEOPROTEIN BODY DOMAIN AS ANTIVIRAL TARGET
<p>Influenza is a segmented negative strand RNA virus. Each RNA segment is encapsulated by viral nucleoprotein (NP) and bound by the viral RNA dependent RNA polymerase (RdRP) to form viral ribonucleoproteins (vRNPs) responsible for RNA synthesis. NP is a structural component of the vRNP but also …

DEVELOPMENT OF AVIAN PARAMYXOVIRUS VECTORED VACCINES
Avian Avulaviruses (formerly Avian Paramyxoviruses, APMV) are important pathogens of avian species and have been used as viral vectors for more than two decades. Among all APMVs, Newcastle disease virus (NDV or APMV-1) has been most extensively used as a vaccine vector for protection against avian …

Seasonal Dynamics of Avian Influenza Viruses in Ring-billed Gulls (Larus delawarensis) in Minnesota
… are reservoir hosts for low pathogenicity avian influenza viruses (LPAIVs), but their role in the transmission dynamics of highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses (HPAIVs) is unclear. The novel reassortant HPAIV H5N2 that emerged in Minnesota in 2015 was devastating to the poultry …
