Differential innate responses of chickens and ducks to low-pathogenic avian influenza
3 Oct 2012
Abstract excerpt
Ducks and chickens are hosts of avian influenza virus, each with distinctive responses to infection. To understand these differences, we characterized the innate immune response to low-pathogenicity avian influenza virus H7N1 infection in chickens and ducks. Viral RNA was detected in the lungs of chickens from day 0.8 to 7, in ducks mainly at day 4. In both species, viral RNA was detected in the bursa and gut....
