Article Synopsis
- * Laboratory tests confirmed the presence of a low-pathogenicity avian influenza virus (LPAIV) subtype H6N1, affecting 15 premises in Northern Ireland and spreading to 13 in the Republic of Ireland and six in Great Britain.
- * The outbreak resulted in the culling of over 2 million birds to control the spread, highlighting the significant economic consequences and the need for swift action during LPAIV outbreaks.
We report cases of mammalian infection with highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) virus A(H5N1) clade 2.3.4.

Two distinct murine models of TMJ pain and inflammation (zymosan and CFA) were established. Spontaneous pain-like behaviours were observed as unilateral front paw cheek wipes.

Methodology: The Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database, an international public repository of genomics data sets, was searched for human microarray datasets assessing pulpitis. An irreversible pulpitis gene expression signature was generated by differential expression analysis.
