| virological and molecular epidemiological investigations into the role of wild birds in the epidemiology of influenza a/h5n1 in central thailand. | a serological and virological surveillance program to investigate the hpai h5n1 virus in wild bird populations was undertaken from february 2007 to october 2008. the purpose of the survey was to investigate the infection status in free ranging wild birds in banglane district, nakhon pathom province, central thailand. samples from wild birds were collected every two months. choanal and cloacal swabs, serum and tissue samples were collected from 421 birds comprising 44 species. sero-prevalence of ... | 2010 | 21041042 |
| brominated flame retardants in three terrestrial passerine birds from south china: geographical pattern and implication for potential sources. | polybrominated diphenyl ethers (pbdes), decabromodiphenyl ethane (dbdpe), polybrominated biphenyls (pbbs) and pentabromotoluene (pbt) were investigated in light-vented bulbul (lvb), long-tailed shrike (lts) and oriental magpie-robin (omr) collected from seven sampling sites in south china. ∑pbdes, dbdpe, pbb 153, and pbt levels ranged from 35 to 15,000, no detected (nd)-130, nd-6800, and nd-6.8 ng/g lipid weight, respectively. positive correlations were found between δ(15)n values and brominated ... | 2011 | 22243889 |
| contaminants of legacy and emerging concern in terrestrial passerines from a nature reserve in south china: residue levels and inter-species differences in the accumulation. | knowledge is limited about the bioaccumulation of persistent halogenated compounds (phcs) in terrestrial wildlife. several phcs, including dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (ddt) and its metabolites (designated as ddts), polychlorinated biphenyls (pcbs), polybrominated diphenyl ethers (pbdes), decabromodiphenylethane (dbdpe) and 1,2-bis(2,4,6-tribromophenoxy) ethane (btbpe), and stable isotopes (δ(15)n and δ(13)c) were analyzed in the muscle of four terrestrial passerines, parus major, copsychus s ... | 2015 | 25841212 |
| accumulation of dechlorane plus flame retardant in terrestrial passerines from a nature reserve in south china: the influences of biological and chemical variables. | although a number of studies have addressed the bioaccumulation of dechlorane plus (dp) flame retardant in wildlife, few data are available on terrestrial organisms. this study examined the presence of dp isomers in the muscle tissue of seven terrestrial resident passerine species, i.e., the great tit (parus major), the oriental magpie-robin (copsychus saularis), the red-whiskered bulbul (pycnonotus jocosus), the light-vented bulbul (pycnonotus sinensis), the streak-breasted scimitar babbler (po ... | 2015 | 25666277 |
| species- and tissue-specific accumulation of dechlorane plus in three terrestrial passerine bird species from the pearl river delta, south china. | little data is available on the bioaccumulation of dechlorane plus (dp) in terrestrial organisms. three terrestrial passerine bird species, light-vented bulbul, long-tailed shrike, and oriental magpie-robin, were collected from rural and urban sites in the pearl river delta to analyze for the presence of dp and its dechlorinated products in muscle and liver tissues. the relationships between trophic level and concentration and isomeric composition of dp in birds were also investigated based on s ... | 2012 | 22727895 |
| immune responses of chickens infected with wild bird-origin h5n6 avian influenza virus. | since april 2014, new infections of h5n6 avian influenza virus (aiv) in humans and domestic poultry have caused considerable economic losses in the poultry industry and posed an enormous threat to human health worldwide. in previous research using gene sequence and phylogenetic analysis, we reported that h5n6 aiv isolated in february 2015 (zh283) in pallas's sandgrouse was highly similar to that isolated in a human in december 2015 (a/guangdong/zq874/2015), whereas a virus (i.e., sw8) isolated i ... | 2017 | 28676793 |
| pathogenicity and transmissibility of three avian influenza a (h5n6) viruses isolated from wild birds. | since 2013, highly pathogenic h5n6 avian influenza viruses (aivs) have emerged in poultry and caused sporadic human infections in asia. the recent discovery of three new avian h5n6 viruses - a/oriental magpie-robin/guangdong/sw8/2014 (h5n6), a/common moorhen/guangdong/gz174/2014 (h5n6) and a/pallas's sandgrouse/guangdong/zh283/2015 (h5n6) - isolated from apparently healthy wild birds in southern china in 2014-2015 raises great concern for the spread of these highly pathogenic aivs (hpaivs) and t ... | 2018 | 29307740 |
| intercontinental spread of asian-origin h7 avian influenza viruses by captive bird trade in 1990's. | wild bird migration and illegal trade of infected poultry, eggs, and poultry products have been associated with the spread of avian influenza viruses (aiv). during 1992-1996, h7n1 and h7n8 low pathogenic aiv (lpaiv) were identified from captive wild birds; such as pekin robin (leiothrix lutea), magpie robin (copsychus saularis), flycatcher sp. (genus empidonax), a species of softbill and parakeet, sun conure (aratinga solstitialis), painted conure (pyrrhura picta), fairy bluebird (irena puella), ... | 2019 | 31054314 |
| so much for the city: urban-rural song variation in a widespread asiatic songbird. | song plays a fundamental role in intraspecific communication in songbirds. the temporal and structural components of songs can vary in different habitats. these include urban habitats where anthropogenic sounds and alteration of habitat structure can significantly affect songbird vocal behavior. urban-rural variations in song complexity, song length and syllable rate are not fully understood. in this study, using the oriental magpie-robin (copsychus saularis) as a model, we investigated urban-ru ... | 2018 | 29078034 |
