Immunogenicity of Concentrated and Purified Inactivated Avian Influenza Vaccine Formulation.

Archives of Razi Institute
Avian influenza (AI) H9N2 is a low pathogenic virus subtype belonging to Orthomyxoviridae family. Given the prevalence of this subtype as an infectious agent in poultry industry, special attention has been always directed toward the development of va...

Predicting Zoonotic Risk of Influenza A Viruses from Host Tropism Protein Signature Using Random Forest.

International journal of molecular sciences
Influenza A viruses remain a significant health problem, especially when a novel subtype emerges from the avian population to cause severe outbreaks in humans. Zoonotic viruses arise from the animal population as a result of mutations and reassortmen...

Diagnostic Detection of H7N3 Low Pathogenicity Avian Influenza in a Commercial Game Bird Flock.

Avian diseases
Low pathogenicity avian influenza (LPAI) H7N3 was diagnosed in a flock of commercially raised Japanese quail () breeder hens. The birds were submitted with an initial complaint of a drop in egg production and watery droppings. Initial PCR testing of ...

A novel reassortant avian influenza H4N6 virus isolated from an environmental sample during a surveillance in Maharashtra, India.

The Indian journal of medical research
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES: Low pathogenic avian influenza (LPAI) viruses cause mild clinical illness in domestic birds. Migratory birds are a known reservoir for all subtypes of avian influenza (AI) viruses. The objective of the study was to characteri...

A virus precipitation method for concentration & detection of avian influenza viruses from environmental water resources & its possible application in outbreak investigations.

The Indian journal of medical research
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES: Avian influenza (AI) viruses have been a major cause of public health concern. Wild migratory birds and contaminated environmental sources such as waterbodies soiled with bird droppings play a significant role in the transmis...

Predicting Influenza A Tropism with End-to-End Learning of Deep Networks.

Health security
The type of host that a virus can infect, referred to as host specificity or tropism, influences infectivity and thus is important for disease diagnosis, epidemic response, and prevention. Advances in DNA sequencing technology have enabled rapid meta...

Etiology and pathology of epidemic outbreaks of avian influenza H5N1 infection in Egyptian chicken farms.

Polish journal of veterinary sciences
Epidemic outbreaks of avian influenza (AI) virus H5N1 have been frequently reported in Egypt during the last nine years. Here we investigate the involvement of AI H5N1 in outbreaks of acute respiratory disease that occurred in several commercial chic...
