Investigations were conducted for gathering information on the prevalence and distribution of olive viruses in the Mediterranean basin based on the presence of double stranded RNA (dsRNAs) and the three nepoviruses, OLYaV and OLV-1.
Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza Virus (H5N8) Clade 2.3.4.4 Infection in Migratory Birds, Egypt
We isolated highly pathogenic avian influenza virus (H5N8) of clade 2.3.4.4 from the common coot (Fulica atra) in Egypt, documenting its introduction into Africa through migratory birds. This virus…
Diversifying evolution of highly pathogenic H5N1 avian influenza virus in Egypt from 2006 to 2011

In both sublineages, a number of positively selected amino acids, different glycosylation patterns and variations in the polybasic proteolytic cleavage site were observed.
Distribution of avian influenza H5N1 viral RNA in tissues of AI-vaccinated and unvaccinated contact chickens after experimental infection
There is a need for proper selection of vaccines and their routine evaluation against newly emergent field viruses and rigorous preventive measures should be put in place in order to minimize the public-health risks of avian influenza at the human-animal interface.
