| genetic characterization of influenza a virus subtype h12n1 isolated from a watercock and lesser whistling ducks in thailand. | monitoring of influenza a virus (iav) was conducted in wild bird species in central thailand. four iav subtype h12n1 strains were isolated from a watercock (order gruiformes, family rallidae) (n = 1) and lesser whistling ducks (order anseriformes, family anatidae) (n = 3). all h12n1 viruses were characterized by whole-genome sequencing. phylogenetic analysis of all eight genes of the thai h12n1 viruses indicated that they are most closely related to the eurasian strains. analysis of the ha gene ... | 2012 | 22367500 |
| prevalence of avian influenza viruses, borrelia garinii, mycobacterium avium, and mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis in waterfowl and terrestrial birds in slovakia, 2006. | the prevalence of borrelia, mycobacteria and avian influenza virus (aiv) infections, together with the distribution of different aiv subtypes, was studied in migratory waterfowl and terrestrial birds trapped in three localities in slovakia during 2006. samples obtained from waterfowl captured in the senianske ponds area of eastern slovakia showed the highest diversity of aiv isolates. a total of 13 different subtypes were detected in 19 samples from this location (h1n2, h2n2, h3n2, h6n6, h7n6, h ... | 2008 | 18798030 |
