چکیده
The rapid evolution and spread of the highly pathogenic avian influenza HPAI A(H5N1) viruses is a global threat not only to poultry farming wildlife conservation but also public health communities as result animal-human (zoonosis) cases its genetic reassortant (H5N8) recently detected in seven workers Russia.

Highly pathogenic avian influenza (H5N8) virus, like the recently described H5N8 strain from Korea, was detected in November 2014 in farmed turkeys and in a healthy common teal (Anas crecca) in northeastern Germany. Infected wild birds possibly introduced this virus.
متن کاملHighly pathogenic avian H5N8 influenza viruses: should we be concerned?
Avian influenza A viruses pose a constant threat to global human health as sporadic infections continue to occur with associated high mortality rates. To date, a number of avian influenza virus subtypes have infected humans, including H5N1, H7N9, H9N2 and H7N7. The majority of 'bird flu' cases are thought to have arisen from direct contact with infected poultry, particularly in live markets in ...
متن کاملExperimental infection of dogs with highly pathogenic avian influenza virus (H5N8)
During the highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5N8 virus outbreak in Korea, a dog in layer farm contaminated by H5N8 was reported seropositive for HPAI H5N8. To investigate the possibility of adaptation and transmission of HPAI H5N8 to dogs, we experimentally inoculated dogs with H5N8. Viral genes were weakly detected in nasal swabs and seroconversions in inoculated and contact dogs. Alth...
متن کاملThe threat of an avian influenza pandemic.
There have been three influenza pandemics during the past century — in 1918, 1957, and 1968. Although the severity of the epidemics and the primary age groups affected varied, each was caused by a novel type A virus of avian origin. In 1957 and 1968, the new viruses had components of previous human viruses as well as avian viruses. The genome of the influenzavirus is made up of eight segments o...
متن کاملAirborne Detection of H5N8 Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza Virus Genome in Poultry Farms, France
In southwestern France, during the winter of 2016-2017, the rapid spread of highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N8 outbreaks despite the implementation of routine control measures, raised the question about the potential role of airborne transmission in viral spread. As a first step to investigate the plausibility of that transmission, air samples were collected inside, outside and downwind fro...
