“…Despite the fact that several experimental studies and reports of natural infections prove that vertical transmission occurs in gallinaceous poultry (Cappucci et al, 1985;Bean et al, 1985;Kilany et al, 2010;Promkuntod et al, 2006;Pillai et al, 2010), there is no evidence to suggest that this occurs in columbids, and no experimental infections to investigate transmission of AIV in pigeon or dove eggs are documented. This is a topic that requires experimental investigation for a conclusion, emphasized by the observation of mild sporadic microscopic lesions in the ovarial thecal epithelial cells of H5N1 inoculated rock pigeons (Brown et al, 2009).…”

“…AI viruses have been isolated from poultry meat and from commercial eggs (Cappucci et al ., 1985;Tumpey et al ., 2002;). The extent of this event is dependent on a series of different factors, including the avian species affected, the viral strain and on whether the product is processed or not.…”

Avian influenza (AI) is a listed disease of the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) that has become a disease of great importance both for animal and human health. The increased relevance of AI in the fields of animal and human health has highlighted the lack of scientific information on several aspects of the disease, which has hampered the adequate management of some of the recent crises. Millions of animals have died, and there is growing concern over the loss of human lives and over the management of the pandemic potential.The present paper aims to identify areas of knowledge of veterinary competence that need to be improved in order to generate information to support the global AI crisis, and highlights the major changes in AI legislation, including regulations related to trade. It also reviews the human health implications of AI, including the mechanisms by which a human pandemic virus may be generated, and the food safety issues related to this infection. The application of control policies, ranging from stamping out to emergency and prophylactic vaccination, are discussed on the basis of data generated in recent outbreaks, and in the light of new regulations, also in view of the maintenance of good animal welfare.Poultry veterinarians working for the industry or for the public sector represent the first line of defence against the pandemic threat and for the prevention and control of this infection in poultry and in wild birds. However, given the current situation, it is imperative that close collaboration is sought and achieved by health officials involved in the veterinary, agricultural and medical aspects of the disease. Only through the exchange of data, experiences, views and information will it be possible to combat this zoonosis, which represents a major threat to public health and animal well-being.

“…In some studies, a high prevalence of the virus and antibodies have been recovered from the eggs of waterbirds (Narayan et al 1969;Romvary et al 1980;Cappucci et al 1985). Breeding areas of Charadiiformes often involve large numbers of eggs at specific sites (Lane 1987;Pringle 1987), which may provide an opportunity for sampling for avian influenza.…”
