Journal ArticleDOI

Evolution of H5N1 avian influenza viruses in Asia

Jean Thierry Aubin, +93 more
TL;DR: Human infections were from a virus clade undergoing antigenic drift that showed resistance to adamantanes but sensitivity to neuraminidase inhibitors.
Journal ArticleDOI

A molecular epidemiological study of avian paramyxovirus type 1 (Newcastle disease virus) isolates by phylogenetic analysis of a partial nucleotide sequence of the fusion protein gene.

TL;DR: It is concluded that by using this dataset it will be possible to type future virus isolates rapidly on the basis of their nucleotide sequence and make inferences about theirorigins.
Journal ArticleDOI

Recombination resulting in virulence shift in avian influenza outbreak, Chile.

TL;DR: Sequence analysis of all eight genes of the LPAI virus and the HPAI viruses showed minor differences between the viruses except at the hemagglutinin (HA) cleavage site, which indicates a virulence shift.
Journal ArticleDOI

Changes in the haemagglutinin and the neuraminidase genes prior to the emergence of highly pathogenic H7N1 avian influenza viruses in Italy.

TL;DR: It is concluded that the Italian HPAI viruses arose from low pathogenicity strains, and that a deletion in the NA stalk followed by the acquisition of additional glycosylation near the receptor binding site of HA1 may be an adaptation of H7 viruses to a new host species i.e. domestic poultry.
