Journal ArticleDOI
Heterogeneity in the haemagglutinin gene and emergence of the highly pathogenic phenotype among recent H5N2 avian influenza viruses from Mexico
TL;DR: Molecular changes in the haemagglutinin (HA)-coding regions and proteolytic cleavage sites from multiple H5N2 subtype viruses isolated during a recent outbreak of avian influenza in central Mexico have been characterized.
Journal ArticleDOI
Baculovirus-derived hemagglutinin vaccines protect against lethal influenza infections by avian H5 and H7 subtypes.
John M. Crawford,Bethanie E. Wilkinson,Andrei Vosnesensky,Gale Smith,Maricarmen García,Henry D. Stone,Michael L. Perdue +6 more
TL;DR: When challenged with highly pathogenic strains of the corresponding AI subtypes, the vaccinated birds were completely protected against lethal infection and in some cases exhibited reduced or no cloacal shedding at 3 days postinfection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Newcastle disease virus phosphoprotein gene analysis and transcriptional editing in avian cells.
Devin P Locke,Holly S. Sellers,John M. Crawford,Stacey Schultz-Cherry,Daniel J. King,Richard J. Meinersmann,Bruce S. Seal +6 more
TL;DR: Comparison of the P gene editing sites among the Paramyxovirinae and predicted P gene usage demonstrates that NDV more closely resembles the respiroviruses and morbilliviruses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nucleotide sequence analysis of the Newcastle disease virus nucleocapsid protein gene and phylogenetic relationships among the Paramyxoviridae
TL;DR: Comparison of NDV and avian paramyxovirus 6 separating as a cluster distinct from the Rubulavirus genus provides further support for avianParamyxoviruses being considered for their own genus among the Paramyxovirinae.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Novel Carbohydrate Addition Site on the Hemagglutinin Protein of a Highly Pathogenic H7 Subtype Avian Influenza Virus
TL;DR: The data raise the possibility that presence of carbohydrate near the receptor site on the H7 avian influenza virus hemagglutinin may influence virulence.
