Evolutionary Repercussions of Avian Culling on Host Resistance and Influenza Virulence

8 May 2009

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Keeping pandemic influenza at bay is a global health priority. Of particular concern is the continued spread of the influenza subtype H5N1 in avian populations and the increasing frequency of transmission to humans. To decrease this threat, mass culling is the principal strategy for eradicating influenza in avian populations. Although culling has a crucial short-term epidemiological benefit,...
