Journal ArticleDOI
Intracontinental and intercontinental dissemination of Asian H5 highly pathogenic avian influenza virus (clade 2.3.4.4) in the winter of 2014-2015

TL;DR: Although the illegal movement of poultry and poultry products cannot be ruled out as a cause of intercontinental and intracontinental dissemination of clade 2.3.4.4 H5 HPAIVs during the winter of 2014–2015, transmission of the viruses by infected migratory birds appears to be a more plausible mechanism for their dissemination.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of an H5N8 influenza A virus isolated from chickens during an outbreak of severe avian influenza in Japan in April 2014
Katsushi Kanehira,Yuko Uchida,Nobuhiro Takemae,Hirokazu Hikono,Ryota Tsunekuni,Takehiko Saito,Takehiko Saito +6 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that waterfowl may be able to spread the virus even if they possess antibodies resulting from a previous infection with H5 HPAIV that was antigenically distinguishable from viruses belonging to clade 2.4.3.4, as well as the potential forWaterfowl to act as a virus reservoir and carrier.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental West Nile Virus Infection in Aigamo Ducks, a Cross Between Wild Ducks (Anas platyrhynchos) and Domestic Ducks (Anas platyrhynchos var. domesticus)
TL;DR: Results suggest that WNV-infected aigamo ducks can transmit WNV; thus it is important to take precautions against an introduction, and measures to prevent infection to aIGamo duck operations should be prepared.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pathogenicity of H5N8 highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses isolated from a wild bird fecal specimen and a chicken in Japan in 2014.
Taichiro Tanikawa,Katsushi Kanehira,Ryota Tsunekuni,Yuko Uchida,Nobuhiro Takemae,Takehiko Saito,Takehiko Saito +6 more
TL;DR: It was found that the lethality of Miyazaki2014 in chickens was lower than that of Chiba2014; according to the 50% chicken lethal dose, indicating that differences in pathogenicity may not explain why the Japanese poultry outbreaks only involved group C isolates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetics and infectivity of H5N1 highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses isolated from chickens and wild birds in Japan during 2010–11
Yuko Uchida,Yasushi Suzuki,Masayuki Shirakura,Akira Kawaguchi,Eri Nobusawa,Taichiro Tanikawa,Hirokazu Hikono,Nobuhiro Takemae,Masaji Mase,Katsushi Kanehira,Tsuyoshi Hayashi,Yuichi Tagawa,Masato Tashiro,Takehiko Saito +13 more
TL;DR: Outbreaks of H5N1 subtype highly pathogenic avian influenza virus (HPAIV) were recorded in chickens, domesticated birds and wild birds throughout Japan from November 2010 to March 2011, and reduced virus excretion and transmission of MandarinD11 could have been due to adaptation of the virus in wild birds.
