| experimental infection of peridomestic mammals with emergent h7n9 (a/anhui/1/2013) influenza a virus: implications for biosecurity and wet markets. | during 2013, a novel avian-origin h7n9 influenza a virus (iav) emerged in china and subsequently caused large economic and public health burdens. we experimentally infected three common peridomestic wild mammals with h7n9 (a/anhui/1/2013) iav. striped skunks exhibited the highest burden of disease followed by raccoons and cottontail rabbits. striped skunks also produced the highest levels of viral shedding (up to 10(6.4)pfu/ml nasal flush) followed by cottontail rabbits (up to 10(5.8)pfu/ml nasa ... | 2016 | 26550948 |
