Genetic Diversity of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza A(H5N8/H5N5) Viruses in Italy, 2016–17
In winter 2016-17, highly pathogenic avian influenza A(H5N8) and A(H5N5) viruses of clade 2.3.4.4 were identified in wild and domestic birds in Italy. We report the occurrence of multiple introductions and describe the identification in Europe of 2 novel genotypes, generated through multiple reassortment events.
متن کاملPersistence of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza Viruses in Natural Ecosystems
Understanding of ecologic factors favoring emergence and maintenance of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) viruses is limited. Although low pathogenic avian influenza viruses persist and evolve in wild populations, HPAI viruses evolve in domestic birds and cause economically serious epizootics that only occasionally infect wild populations. We propose that evolutionary ecology considerati...
متن کاملRisk Assessment of the Introduction and Spread of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza Viruses (H5-Subtypes) Via Migratory Birds in Iran
Background and Objectives: HPAI has economic and public health importance. Aquatic and shore migratory birds are the main reservoirs and the cause of the spread of viruses across countries. The aim of study was risk assessment of the spread of the avian influenza H5 viruses. Methods: In this qualitative study, structured interviews and focus group discussions were used to assess the risk of...
متن کاملRapidly Expanding Range of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza Viruses
The movement of highly pathogenic avian influenza (H5N8) virus across Eurasia and into North America and the virus' propensity to reassort with co-circulating low pathogenicity viruses raise concerns among poultry producers, wildlife biologists, aviculturists, and public health personnel worldwide. Surveillance, modeling, and experimental research will provide the knowledge required for intelli...
متن کامل[Vaccines against highly pathogenic influenza viruses of the avian origin].
Worldwide spreading of H5 and H7 highly pathogenic influenza viruses of the avian origin, which periodically infect and kill humans without prior adaptation, poses a constant threat of the new pandemic. The effectiveness of the pandemic prevention completely depends on the quality of the existing influenza vaccines. Typical methods of the vaccine production from the antigenically relevant strai...
