“…While the majority of LPAIV isolates from free-ranging birds have originated from waterfowl (Stallknecht & Shane, 1988), both LPAIV and HPAIV have been isolated from passerine birds throughout a wide geographic area encompassing portions of Europe, Australia, North America, Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. Examples of these isolations have included swabs collected from house sparrows in Hungary and European starlings in Israel and Australia (Romváry et al, 1976, in Stallknecht & Shane, 1988Lipkind et al, 1979;Amin et al, 1980;Boudreault et al, 1980;Boudreault & LeComte, 1981;Cross, 1986;Nestorowicz et al, 1987;Kwon et al, 2005;Gronesova et al, 2008;Desvaux et al, 2009). In addition, cloacal swabs collected from 22 passerine species throughout the USA from 2005 to 2008 were AIV-positive by RT-PCR, with an approximate prevalence of 1% among passerines (Fuller et al, 2010).…”

“…AIV, including some HPAIV, have been isolated or detected by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) in samples originating from free-living passerines of at least 24 species, although these detections are relatively rare (Lipkind et al, 1979;Boudreault et al, 1980;Hinshaw & Webster 1982;Roy et al, 1983;Nestorowicz et al, 1987;Mase et al, 2005;Peterson et al, 2008). Surveys in the USA, Canada, Egypt, Hungary, and Slovakia suggest that numerous freeranging passerines become infected with LPAIV, and therefore could potentially play a role in transmission and spread (Romváry et al, 1976, in Stallknecht & Shane, 1988Johnson et al, 1977;Amin et al, 1980;Boudreault et al, 1980;Al-Attar et al, 2008;Fuller et al, 2010).…”

Shedding and serologic responses following primary and secondary inoculation of house sparrows (Passer domesticus) and European starlings (Sturnus vulgaris) with low-pathogenicity avian influenza virus

et al. 2010

Waterfowl and shorebirds are well-recognized natural reservoirs of low-pathogenicity avian influenza viruses (LPAIV); however, little is known about the role of passerines in avian influenza virus ecology. Passerines are abundant, widespread, and commonly come into contact with free-ranging birds as well as captive game birds and poultry. We inoculated and subsequently challenged house sparrows (Passer domesticus) and European starlings (Sturnus vulgaris) with wild-bird origin LPAIV H3N8 to evaluate their potential role in transmission. Oropharyngeal shedding was short lived, and was detected in more starlings (97.2%) than sparrows (47.2%; n=36 of each). Cloacal shedding was rare in both species (8.3%; n=36 of each) and no cage-mate transmission occurred. Infectious LPAIV was cultured from oropharyngeal and cloacal swabs and gastrointestinal and respiratory tissues from both species. Seroconversion was detected as early as 3 days post inoculation (d.p.i.) (16.7% of sparrows and 0% of starlings; n=6 each); 50% of these individuals seroconverted by 5 d.p.i., and nearly all birds (97%; n=35) seroconverted by 28 d.p.i. In general, pre-existing homologous immunity led to reduced shedding and increased antibody levels within 7 days of challenge. Limited shedding and lack of cage-mate transmission suggest that passerines are not significant reservoirs of LPAIV, although species differences apparently exist. Passerines readily and consistently seroconverted to LPAIV, and therefore inclusion of passerines in epidemiological studies of influenza outbreaks in wildlife and domestic animals may provide further insight into the potential involvement of passerines in avian influenza virus transmission ecology.

“…Their large numbers and great voracity put starlings to the fore as likely candidates for transmission of virus into turkey houses. Starlings have been shown to shed virus for a limited time after experimental infection (Bahl, 1975quoted by Bahl et al, 1979) and lipkind et al (1979a reported the isolation, in 1979, of an influenza virus of Havl Neql subtype from migratory starlings {Stumus vulgaris) in Israel. This isolate proved to be of low virulence for chickens and turkeys (Alexander, unpublished observations).…”

“…The virus was named as PMV-2/Chicken/California/ Yucaipa/56 in 1972, and belongs to the genus Avulavirus within the family Paramyxoviridae. Since then a number of Yucaipa-like viruses have been isolated from both domesticated and wild birds in many different parts of the world, including Japan (1,5), Canada (1,16), Costa Rica (14), England (1,3,10), German (23), Kenya (22), Senegal (13), Israel (2,17,18,19,25), and other countries.…”

Isolation, Identification, and Comparison of Four Isolates of Avian Paramyxovirus Serotype 2 in China

et al. 2006

Four Yucaipa-like viruses of avian paramyxovirus serotype 2 (APMV-2) were isolated in China from the imported Gouldian Finch (Chloebia gouldiae) and broilers in 1998-2002, and were named F4, F6, F8, and NK, respectively. Examined under electron microscope, the isolates were found to be round in shape and varying in size. The results of the hemagglutination inhibition test and indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (using monoclonal antibodies) showed some differences between the isolates and the reference strain Yucaipa. The isolates derived from chickens had a closer relationship to Yucaipa virus than did those of finches. Sequence comparison of the fusion gene and the haemagglutinin-neuraminidase gene showed similar results, although the variations were lesser among APMV-2 viruses in nucleotide and amino acid sequence. By sequence comparison, it was also revealed that at the molecular level the four virus strains belong to APMV-2, and that two of the strains were isolated from the same group of imported Gouldian Finches.
