specialty, in support of the implementation of OIE policies and, where required, seek for
collaboration with OIE Reference Laboratories
ToR:

Avian Diseases
Title of activity
Scope
Experimental coinfection studies in
poultry
Simultaneous infections with avian influenza and Newcastle disease viruses
impacted virus replication depending on the species and the time of the
infection, but did not change the clinical outcome of the diseases
Vaccine protection
against Newcastle
disease
High levels of heterologous antibodies compared to lower levels of
homologous antibodies are sufficient to significantly decrease the amount
of Newcastle disease virus shed from vaccinated animals challenged with
virulent Newcastle disease virus.
Vaccine protection
against Newcastle
disease
A new generation of recombinant vaccines that expressed surface proteins
homologous to the virulent field virus have been developed are superior to
current commercial vaccines in preventing clinical signs and preventing
virus replication.
Vaccine protection
against Newcastle
disease
Modification of a highly virulent strain of Newcastle disease virus by
introducing a chicken interferon gamma gene in the genome decreased
NDV pathogenicity in chickens thus suggesting early expression of IFN-γ had
a significant protective role against the effects of highly virulent NDV
infection in chickens
Generation of a vaccine strain of infectious laryngotracheitis containing a
deletion in the virulence factor encoding gene (ORFC) and demonstration of
safety and protection profiles of ΔORF C vaccine strain of infectious
laryngotracheitis virus
Demonstrated vaccine protection of poultry against the 2012 H7N3 highly
pathogenic avian influenza virus using a vaccine containing a H7N3 duck
isolate from Mexico or a recombinant fowl poxvirus with H7 influenza gene
insert.

Infectious
laryngotracheitis virus

Annual reports of OIE Reference Centres, 2013
Research on Emerging Avian Diseases
Avian Influenza
Pathogenesis
Demonstrated differences in pathogenicity and response to vaccination
against H5N1 HPAI in domestic ducks.
Avian Influenza
Pathogenesis
Inoculation of the Chinese H7N9 low pathogenicity avian influenza in
poultry indicated high infection rates and shedding in chickens and quail
but resistance to infection of pigeons and domestic waterfowl
Epidemiology, surveillance, risk assessment, modelling
Title of activity
Scope
Molecular epidemiology
of NDV in wild birds
Molecular studies of Newcastle disease virus isolated from migratory birds
sampled in Alaska, Japan, and Russia has indicated wide genetic diversity
thus supporting migratory bird movement as a possible mechanism for
intercontinental global distribution of NDV strains.
Molecular epidemiology
of NDV in zoological
birds
Molecular epidemiologic studies of Newcastle disease in Mexico identified
Newcastle disease vaccine viruses in free-living wild bird species at a
zoological park, and two virulent viruses from captive wild birds at the
Mexican zoo, suggest that virulent and vaccine Newcastle disease viruses
may be escaping from poultry into the environment
Molecular epidemiology
of NDV
New genotypes of NDV were identified in China and the Dominican Republic
following complete genome sequences of emerging Newcastle disease virus
strains
Molecular epidemiology
of avian influenza virus
A wild bird surveillance study was conducted in the Black Sea region in
Ukraine to identify avian influenza viruses. Phylogenetic analysis of the HA
and NA genes revealed possible ecological connections between the Black
Sea region and Europe.
Diagnosis, biotechnology and laboratory
Title of activity
Scope
Genome sequence of
Infectious
laryngotracheitis virus
Determined the nucleotide sequences of the Tissue Culture Origin and Chick
Embryo Origin vaccine strains of infectious laryngotracheitis virus
Real-time RT-PCR
diagnostics for H7N9
avian influenza virus
Provided a rapid comparison of RRT-PCR tests for both the H7 and N9
subtype tests for emerging H7N9 virus in China and shared the information
with the OFFLU network.
