AI Article Synopsis
- Researchers used various methods to study an outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza on a broiler breeding farm in Saskatchewan, Canada.
- The investigation combined epidemiologic, serologic, and molecular phylogenetic techniques to trace the virus's origins.
- Data from surveillance of influenza A virus in migratory waterfowl suggested that wild birds were likely the source of the virus that evolved into the highly infectious form.
Article Abstract
Epidemiologic, serologic, and molecular phylogenetic methods were used to investigate an outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza on a broiler breeding farm in Saskatchewan, Canada. Results, coupled with data from influenza A virus surveillance of migratory waterfowl in Canada, implicated wild birds as the most probable source of the low pathogenicity precursor virus.
