Journal ArticleDOI
Estimating within-flock transmission rate parameter for H5N2 highly pathogenic avian influenza virus in Minnesota turkey flocks during the 2015 epizootic
Amos Ssematimba,Sasidhar Malladi,Thomas J. Hagenaars,Peter J. Bonney,J. T. Weaver,Kelly A. Patyk,Erica Spackman,David A. Halvorson,Carol J. Cardona +8 more
TL;DR: The back-calculation approach provides a computationally efficient means to obtain reasonable transmission parameter estimates from mortality data for fatal poultry diseases, and demonstrated that the estimated β was highly sensitive to the bird-level latent period, emphasizing the need for its precise estimation.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Pathobiology of H7N3 Low and High Pathogenicity Avian Influenza Viruses from the United States Outbreak in 2020 Differs between Turkeys and Chickens.
Miria Ferreira Criado,Christina M. Leyson,Sungsu Youk,Suzanne M DeBlois,Tim Olivier,Mary Lea Killian,Mia L. Torchetti,Darren J. Parris,Erica Spackman,Darrell R. Kapczynski,David L. Suarez,David E. Swayne,Mary J. Pantin-Jackwood +12 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the infectivity, transmissibility, and pathogenicity of the H7N3 HPAIV and two LPAIV isolates, including one with a deletion in the neuraminidase (NA) protein stalk, in turkeys and chickens.
Journal ArticleDOI
The pathogenesis of a North American H5N2 clade 2.3.4.4 group A highly pathogenic avian influenza virus in surf scoters ( Melanitta perspicillata )
TL;DR: The susceptibility of diving sea ducks to H5 HPAIV highlights the need for additional research and surveillance to further understand the contribution of diving ducks toHPAIV ecology.
Journal ArticleDOI
Viral diagnostics: will new technology save the day?
TL;DR: Familiarity will seem to be over-represented in viral diagnostics since it is frequently used as a proof-of-concept target for novel technology due to its importance for animal and public health.
Book ChapterDOI
Avian Influenza Virus RNA Extraction.
Erica Spackman,Scott A. Lee +1 more
TL;DR: In this chapter two well established procedures for the isolation of AI virus RNA from common clinical specimen types and enriched virus stocks for further molecular applications will be presented.
