the PLAPROVA consortium focused on the use of plants proteins to produce vaccines against diseases such as avian flu, bluetongue, foot and mouth disease,
The discovery solves a century-old mystery about bluetongue virus and is particularly significant as climate change brings more moderate winter temperatures.
They documented for the first time the presence of genetic material for the bluetongue virus in female midges that were collected during two consecutive winter seasons.
The bluetongue virus was widespread in both the dairy cows and the midges from August to November.
The researchers concluded that those long-lived female midges had been infected with the bluetongue virus during the previous warm-weather season.
The bluetongue virus may also have other yet-to-be discovered modes of overwintering in temperate regions the researchers say.
An additional genomic study then revealed the genetic cause of the blue colored eggshell#a surprisingly harmless ancient retrovirus in the domestic chicken.
A retrovirus is a virus that unlike most cellular organisms carries its genetic blueprint in the form of ribonucleic acid (RNA.
This makes it possible for genetic material from a retrovirus to become permanently incorporated into the DNA of an infected cell.
In this case the retrovirus effect was to trigger an accumulation of a green-blue bile pigment called biliverdin in the eggshell as the egg develops in the hen.
Unlikely odds#An unexpected find was the unique integration sites for the retrovirus in South american/European
and so the chance of a retrovirus integrating at more or less the same location in two chicken populations is extremely low.#
In 2009, Flu Trends had to tweak its algorithms after its models badly underestimated ILI in the United states at the start of the H1n1 (swine flu) pandemic###a glitch attributed to changes in people s search behaviour as a result of the exceptional nature of the pandemic (S. Cook et al.
By studying samples from the 2009 swine flu outbreak, researchers noticed a strong relationship between severity of influenza symptoms and variants in a gene called IFIT3.
#Researchers create tool to predict avian flu outbreaks U of G researchers devised a real-time way to analyze chickens and other farm birds for avian flu.
whether a chicken has avian flu but also what viral strain is involved. Current tests require samples to be sent to a lab,
This week, Canadian officials placed eight farms in southern Ontario under quarantine after an avian influenza outbreak caused the sudden deaths of thousands of birds over several days.
Preliminary testing on the strain was conducted at U of G's Animal health Lab. An outbreak of avian flu also took place in Canada in January and December of 2014.
We will be able to determine, almost immediately, the difference between virus sub-strains from human and avian influenza
#Yale scientists apply new tool to explore mysteries of the immune system Why do infected some individuals with the West nile virus develop life-threatening infections

The teams from Australia's University of Melbourne and Shanghai's Fudan University had worked together during the first outbreak of avian flu in China in 2013.
99 percent of people with the H7n9 virus were hospitalized, while 30 percent died.""After collecting samples from infected patients,
