Summary
The first International Avian Influenza Summit will be a hybrid event hosted in Fayetteville, Arkansas, USA on October 16-17, 2023.
Meet some of the speakers that will appear in this event:
Alberto Torres, PhD
"HPAI Considerations for vaccination from a Primary Breeder’s perspective”
Alberto Torres holds a Veterinary degree from U...
HPAI is a worldwide problem. Is there any possibility to replace (substitue/shift) HPAI viruses (for example H5 or H7 subtypes) with a LPAI virus in migrated wild birds or in HPAIV reserovoirs?. Do you thing the virus is stronger than us that shifts easily from LPAIV to HPAIV subtypes? When we (poultry veterinarian) are going to find solution to AI in wildlife birds?
Alireza Talebi Absolutely! This is precisely one of the objectives we have. Dr. Inkar Castellanos has been hired as a postdoc in our laboratory and he will develop several subunit vaccines to test them in what you are mentioned. While our laboratory does not have the capacity to do challenge trials, we are collaborating with Dr. Daniel Perez in GA where trials will be conducted next year hopefully.
Dr. Guillermo Tellez-Isaias
Thank you for your answer. I have no idea what is your research plan, but I am sure for practical success, your team must have experienced poultry veterinarian specialist in poultry health and diseases to understand how to deal with AIV in wildlife and poultry industry.
A. Talebi DVM, MVM, Ph.D., 1 year postdoctoral fellowship (synthetic vaccine)
@oumed gerjis minimum of two doses of H5 vaccine are required in long living birds. However maximum dose may vary according to the degree of seroconversions.
France had declared an infection of Avian Influenza in vaccinated birds. What should be the interval between the TWO LIVE vaccination of H5? What is the duration of protection with the live vaccines in the field?
