Introduction: EEHV-1 is a viral infection of elephants that has been associated with a fatal haemorrhagic syndrome in Asian elephants. Previous studies have suggested that pregnant animals may shed more virus than non-pregnant animals. Methods: This...

Identification of morphological differences between avian influenza A viruses grown in chicken and duck cells (2015)
Journal Article
Al-Mubarak, F., Daly, J., Christie, D., Fountain, D., & Dunham, S. P. (2015). Identification of morphological differences between avian influenza A viruses grown in chicken and duck cells. Virus Research, 199, 9-19. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.virusres.2015.01.005

Although wild ducks are considered to be the major reservoirs for most influenza A virus subtypes, they are typically resistant to the effects of the infection. In contrast, certain influenza viruses may be highly pathogenic in other avian hosts such...
