IFN and cytokine responses in ducks to genetically similar H5N1 influenza A viruses of varying pathogenicity
12 Feb 2018
Abstract excerpt
Ducks, the reservoir host, are generally permissive to influenza A virus infection without disease symptoms. This natural ecology was upset by the emergence of H5N1 strains, which can kill ducks. To better understand host-virus interactions in the reservoir host, and influenza strain-specific molecular contributions to virulence, we infected White Pekin ducks with three similar H5N1 viruses, with known...
