Journal ArticleDOI
Mortality associated with avian reovirus infection in a free-living magpie (Pica pica) in Great Britain.
Becki Lawson,Akbar Dastjerdi,Sonal Shah,Sonal Shah,David J. Everest,Alejandro Núñez,Ann Pocknell,D. Hicks,Daniel L. Horton,Daniel L. Horton,Andrew A. Cunningham,Richard M. Irvine +11 more
TL;DR: The pathology and comprehensive virus investigations in this case indicate ARV as the primary pathogen in this magpie, with concurrent secondary infection subsequent to immunosuppression, as has been observed with reoviral infections in other bird species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adenovirus in a red squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris) from Scotland
TL;DR: The red squirrel ( Sciurus vulgaris) has been in decline in Great Britain for decades and numbers are presently estimated at 160,000, in various locations, with approximately 120,000 of these resident in Scotland.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inter-specific viral infections: can the management of captive red squirrel collections help inform scientific research?
Craig M. Shuttleworth,David J. Everest,Colin McInnes,Andrew Greenwood,Nick Jackson,Steve P. Rushton,Robert E. Kenward +6 more
TL;DR: Variation in tissue specific detection rates suggests that previous long-term surveillance of adenovirus in wild grey squirrels focussing on blood samples may have significantly underestimated true infection rates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Preliminary characterisation of Pentlands paramyxovirus-1, -2 and -3, three new paramyxoviruses of rodents
TL;DR: In a sample of 22 red and grey squirrels 68% of those examined were found to harbour virus suggesting that paramyxovirus infection in squirrels may be common within the UK, and phylogenetic analysis confirmed that the virus was a member of the Paramyxovirinae subfamily.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adenovirus particles from a wild red squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris) from Northern Ireland
David J. Everest,John Griffin,Neil D. Warnock,Lisa M. Collins,Jaimie T. A. Dick,Neil Reid,Michael Scantlebury,Nikki J. Marks,Ian Montgomery +8 more
TL;DR: Red squirrel populations in Northern Ireland over recent decades have shown a reduction in some populations, and suspected competition for resources with the grey squirrel and the recent squirrelpox virus outbreak are likely contributing factors.
