Sindbis Virus Infection in Resident Birds, Migratory Birds, and Humans, Finland
Sindbis virus (SINV), a mosquito-borne virus that causes rash and arthritis, has been causing outbreaks in humans every seventh year in northern Europe. To gain a better understanding of SINV epidemiology in Finland, we searched for SINV antibodies in 621 resident grouse, whose population declines have coincided with human SINV outbreaks, and in 836 migratory birds. We used hemagglutination-inh...
متن کاملHighly pathogenic H5N1 influenza virus infection in migratory birds.
H5N1 avian influenza virus (AIV) has emerged as a pathogenic entity for a variety of species, including humans, in recent years. Here we report an outbreak among migratory birds on Lake Qinghaihu, China, in May and June 2005, in which more than a thousand birds were affected. Pancreatic necrosis and abnormal neurological symptoms were the major clinical features. Sequencing of the complete geno...
متن کاملEvolutionary Divergence in Brain Size between Migratory and Resident Birds
Despite important recent progress in our understanding of brain evolution, controversy remains regarding the evolutionary forces that have driven its enormous diversification in size. Here, we report that in passerine birds, migratory species tend to have brains that are substantially smaller (relative to body size) than those of resident species, confirming and generalizing previous studies. P...
متن کاملSerological Monitoring of Avian Influenza in Migratory Birds of Iran
Although migratory waterfowl is well known to be a major reservoir for avian influenza virus (AIV), there are only few recently published reports about the seroprevalence of AIV in this group of birds. To investigate the AIV antibody status in migratory waterfowl of Iran, we collected 217 serum samples from 25 different species of waterfowl during 2003 and 2004. These serum samples were teste...
متن کاملMigratory Birds Make
sions about site settlement on both breeding and nonbreeding grounds. Each year a fraction of surviving individuals return to sites occupied in previous years. The accumulation of capture histories, and the widespread distribution of capture–recapture software to analyze such data (Lebreton et al. 1992) have lead to a proliferation of estimates of apparent annual survival rates for migratory bi...
