An Overview on Avian Influenza

In this study we used American kestrels as a representative species of a North American raptor to examine the effects of HPAIV (H5N1) infection in terms of dose response,

Spatio-temporal association of outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza virus (HPAIV) H5N1 infection in wild birds with surface air temperatures. Frequency distributions of

The focus in our analyses is on b 21 , the transmission rate parameter from the person infected from the animal reservoir to its household members (primary

The most effective means for controlling infection and thereby reducing morbidity and mortality is vaccination with a three inactivated influenza virus strains mixture, or by

The results showed that matrine had similar bioactivities with OS against avian influenza virus H9N2 in vitro for both alleviating cytopathic effect

To test this we performed hemagglutination inhibition assays to compare the reactivity of serum samples from wild birds in Mongolia (where HPAIV has been circulating, n 5 1,832)

To evaluate the effect of the virus on the BBB, the presence, distribution and pattern of staining of the BBB proteins ZO-1 and claudin-1 were tested in brain sections from all

Treatment of influenza virus-infected SCID mice with nonneutralizing antibodies specific for the transmembrane proteins matrix 2 and neuraminidase reduces the pulmonary virus
