Conducting Influenza Virus Pathogenesis Studies in Avian Species

Abstract

Avian infection studies with influenza A are an important means of assessing host susceptibility, viral pathogenesis, host responses to infection, mechanisms of transmission, viral pathotype, and viral evolution. Complex systems and natural settings may also be explored with carefully designed infection studies. In this chapter, we explore the elements of infection studies, general guidelines for choosing a virus to use, host selection, and many aspects of study design.

Keywords: Avian; Challenge; Host; Infection; Influenza; Inoculation; Pathogenesis; Sample; Shedding; Transmission.
