Journal ArticleDOI
Role of domestic ducks in the propagation and biological evolution of highly pathogenic H5N1 influenza viruses in Asia
Diane J. Hulse-Post,K. M. Sturm-Ramirez,Jennifer Humberd,Patrick Seiler,Elena A. Govorkova,Scott Krauss,Christoph Scholtissek,Pilaipan Puthavathana,Chantanee Buranathai,Toan D. Nguyen,Hoang T. Long,T. S. P. Naipospos,Hualan Chen,Trevor M. Ellis,Yi Guan,Joseph S. M. Peiris,Robert G. Webster +16 more
TL;DR: It is shown that these H5N1 viruses are reverting to nonpathogenicity in ducks, suggesting that the duck has become the "Trojan horse" of Asian H 5N1 influenza viruses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Are Ducks Contributing to the Endemicity of Highly Pathogenic H5N1 Influenza Virus in Asia
K. M. Sturm-Ramirez,Diane J. Hulse-Post,Elena A. Govorkova,Jennifer Humberd,Patrick Seiler,Pilaipanl Puthavathana,Chantanee Buranathai,Toan D. Nguyen,A. Chaisingh,Hoang T. Long,T. S. P. Naipospos,Hualan Chen,Trevor M. Ellis,Yi Guan,Yi Guan,Joseph S. M. Peiris,Joseph S. M. Peiris,Robert G. Webster,Robert G. Webster +18 more
TL;DR: Eight virus isolates that were nonpathogenic in ducks replicated and transmitted efficiently to naïve contacts, suggesting that highly pathogenic H5N1 viruses causing minimal signs of disease in ducks can propagate silently and efficiently among domestic and wild ducks in Asia and that they represent a serious threat to human and veterinary public health.
Journal ArticleDOI
Investigation of outbreaks of highly pathogenic H5N1 avian influenza in waterfowl and wild birds in Hong Kong in late 2002
Trevor M. Ellis,R Barry Bousfield,Lucy A Bissett,K. C. Dyrting,Geraldine S. M. Luk,S T Tsim,K. M. Sturm-Ramirez,Robert G. Webster,Yi Guan,J. S. Malik Peiris +9 more
TL;DR: Control measures implemented for the second outbreak included strict isolation, culling, increased sanitation and vaccination, and infection on a chicken farm was detected 1 week after the second waterfowl park outbreak was detected, on the same day the second grey heron case was detected.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reemerging H5N1 Influenza Viruses in Hong Kong in 2002 Are Highly Pathogenic to Ducks
K. M. Sturm-Ramirez,Trevor M. Ellis,Barry Bousfield,Lucy A Bissett,K. C. Dyrting,Jerold E. Rehg,Leo L.M. Poon,Yi Guan,Malik Peiris,Robert G. Webster +9 more
TL;DR: Despite a high level of genomic homology, the human isolate showed striking biological differences from its avian homologue in a duck model, suggesting that significant antigenic variation has recently occurred among H5N1 viruses.
Journal ArticleDOI
H5N1 influenza: A protean pandemic threat
Yi Guan,Leo L.M. Poon,C. Y. Cheung,Trevor M. Ellis,Wilina Lim,Aleksandr S. Lipatov,Kwok-Hung Chan,K. M. Sturm-Ramirez,C. L. Cheung,Y. H. C. Leung,Kwok-Yung Yuen,Robert G. Webster,Joseph S. M. Peiris +12 more
TL;DR: The acquisition by the viruses of characteristics that enhance virulence in humans and waterfowl and their potential for wider distribution by infected migrating birds are causes for renewed pandemic concern.
