Selective Isolation of Avian Influenza Virus (AIV) from Cloacal Samples Containing AIV and Newcastle Disease Virus

Isolation and Identification of Avian Influenza Virus H9N2 Subtype

Evaluation of Cross Protection against Avian Influenza Virus (aiv) and Newcastle Disease Virus (ndv) in Broiler Chickens after Vaccination in Pakistan

Newcastle Disease is still endemic in Pakistan’s poultry industry and responsible for great economic losses and high mortalities. Avian Influenza Virus has been involved in production losses in past few years, with or without the association of Newcastle Disease in the field. Therefore, present study was planned to evaluate the cross protection between Avian Influenza Virus and Newcastle Diseas...

On-site Screening of Avian Influenza Virus (AIV) by Polystyrene Microfluidic Chip Immunoassay

In this study, AIV (AIV) Ag of A type with viral nucleoprotein (NP), which covers all AIV subtypes, including high-pathogenic AIV, was demonstrated by the novel format of polystyrene microfluidic chip ELISA. In micro-channels of chip instead of conventional 96-well microtiter plates, a double-antibody sandwich ELISA (DAS-ELISA) was developed, in which rabbit Ab, mouse nuclear protein (NP) mAb a...

Detection of Newcastle disease, H9N2 avian influenza, and infectious bronchitis viruses in respiratory diseases in backyard chickens in Ahvaz, Iran, in 2014-2015

Newcastle disease virus (NDV), avian influenza virus (AIV), and infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) are the most prevalent viral pathogens in the Iranian poultry industry. This study aimed to reveal the presence of these viruses in the backyard chickens in Ahvaz, located in the Southwest of Iran. A total of 100 chickens with respiratory signs and mortality were examined by taking the blood sample...

Isolation and pathogenicity identification of avian paramyxovirus serotype 1 (Newcastle disease) virus from a Japanese quail flock in Iran

Newcastle disease virus (NDV) was isolated and identified for the first time from a flock of Japanese quail suspected to ND in Iran. Birds of the flock aged variously, and some of them died from the disease. Loss of appetite, weakness and decrease in egg production, diarrhea and nervous symptoms were the main clinical signs in the birds. Hemorrhagic lesions of the intestinal tracts and proventr...
