Diclofenac residues as the cause of vulture population decline in Pakistan
TLDR
Results are provided that directly correlate residues of the anti-inflammatory drug diclofenac with renal failure and renal failure in the Oriental white-backed vulture (OWBV) and it is proposed that residues of veterinary diclotenac are responsible for the OWBV decline.

Diclofenac poisoning as a cause of vulture population declines across the Indian subcontinent
TLDR
It is recommended that urgent action is taken in the range states of the three currently threatened vulture species to prevent the exposure of vultures to livestock carcasses contaminated with diclofenac.

Avian Coronavirus in Wild Aquatic Birds
TLDR
It is observed that there are frequent interspecies transmissions of gammacoronaviruses between duck species, and some, but not all, coronavirus may have coevolved with birds from the same order.

Breeding and mortality of Oriental White-backed Vulture Gyps bengalensis in Punjab Province, Pakistan
TLDR
Investigation of breeding success and pattern of mortality in two vulture colonies within Punjab Province, Pakistan between December 2000 and June 2001 implies that the mortality factor responsible for the decline in Gyps vultures described in India is also present in Pakistan and will potentially lead to a population decline of a comparable magnitude.

Pathogenicity and Vaccine Efficacy of Different Clades of Asian H5N1 Avian Influenza A Viruses in Domestic Ducks
TLDR
The pathogenicity of dominant clades (clades 1 and 2) of H5N1 influenza A viruses circulating in birds in Asia are described and three different inactivated oil emulsion whole-virus H5 influenza vaccines achieved complete cross-clade or cross-subclade protection against the heterologous avian influenza virus challenge.

Rapid population declines and mortality clusters in three Oriental white-backed vulture Gyps bengalensis colonies in Pakistan due to diclofenac poisoning
TLDR
With populations declining by approximately 50% annually, the long term survival of Gyps vultures in South Asia will require the removal of diclofenac from vulture food and establishment of captive populations for future restoration once the environment is free from contamination.

PATHOLOGY AND PROPOSED PATHOPHYSIOLOGY OF DICLOFENAC POISONING IN FREE-LIVING AND EXPERIMENTALLY EXPOSED ORIENTAL WHITE-BACKED VULTURES (GYPS BENGALENSIS)
TLDR
It is proposed that the mechanism by which diclofenac induces renal failure in the OWBV is through the inhibition of the modulating effect of prostaglandin on angiotensin II-mediated adrenergic stimulation.

Vulture restaurants and their role in reducing diclofenac exposure in Asian vultures
Summary The provision of supplementary food at vulture restaurants is a well-established tool in the conservation of vulture species. Among their many applications, vulture restaurants are used to…

The race to prevent the extinction of South Asian vultures
TLDR
It may be some years before diclofenac is removed from the vultures' food supply, and captive populations of three vulture species have been established to provide sources of birds for future reintroduction programmes.

A Novel Group of Avian Astroviruses in Wild Aquatic Birds
TLDR
Using a pan-astrovirus reverse transcription-PCR assay, a great diversity of novel avastroviruses was detected from wild bird and poultry samples, revealing that different groups of astrovirus might have difference host ranges.
