| characterization of clade 2.3.2.1 h5n1 highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses isolated from wild birds (mandarin duck and eurasian eagle owl) in 2010 in korea. | starting in late november 2010, the h5n1 highly pathogenic avian influenza (hpai) virus was isolated from many types of wild ducks and raptors and was subsequently isolated from poultry in korea. we assessed the genetic and pathogenic properties of the hpai viruses isolated from a fecal sample from a mandarin duck and a dead eurasian eagle owl, the most affected wild bird species during the 2010/2011 hpai outbreak in korea. these viruses have similar genetic backgrounds and exhibited the highest ... | 2013 | 23611846 |
| serological evidence of h5-subtype influenza a virus infection in indigenous avian and mammalian species in korea. | in korea, h5-subtype highly pathogenic avian influenza (hpai) has caused huge economic losses in poultry farms through outbreaks of h5n1 since 2003, h5n8 since 2013 and h5n6 since 2016. although it was reported that long-distance migratory birds may play a major role in the global spread of avian influenza viruses (aivs), transmission from such birds to poultry has not been confirmed. intermediate hosts in the wild also may be a potential factor in viral transmission. therefore, a total of 367 s ... | 2018 | 29204739 |
