Wild ducks excrete highly pathogenic avian influenza virus H5N8 (2014–2015) without clinical or pathological evidence of disease by Judith M. A. van den Brand (7538069)

“…In order to determine whether the virus is adapting to wild waterbirds, we experimentally inoculated the HPAI H5N8 virus clade 2.3.4.4 group A from 2014 into four key waterbird species—Eurasian wigeon (<i>Anas penelope</i>), common teal (<i>Anas crecca</i>), mallard (<i>Anas platyrhynchos</i>), and common pochard (<i>Aythya ferina</i>)—and compared virus excretion and disease severity with historical data of the HPAI H5N1 virus infection from 2005 in the same four species. …”
