Surveillance for Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza Virus in Wild Birds during Outbreaks in Domestic Poultry, Minnesota, 2015.
Jennelle CS, Carstensen M, Hildebrand EC, Cornicelli L, Wolf P, Grear DA, Ip HS, Vandalen KK, Minicucci LA.
Abstract
In 2015, a major outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza virus (HPAIV) infection devastated poultry facilities in Minnesota, USA. To clarify the role of wild birds, we tested 3,139 waterfowl fecal samples and 104 sick and dead birds during March 9-June 4, 2015. HPAIV was isolated from a Cooper's hawk but not from waterfowl.
KEYWORDS:
H5N2; Minnesota; avian influenza; avian influenza virus; fecal sampling; highly pathogenic avian influenza; influenza; low pathogenicity avian influenza; respiratory infections; surveillance; viruses; waterfowl; wildlife disease
