Quantitation of viral loads following challenge indicated reduction of viral loads shed from birds vaccinated with the attenuated AOAV-1 virus. These preliminary insights collectively underline a new hope for the attenuation of live AOAV-1 genotype VII.1.1 as a vaccine candidate that can be used to control ND outbreaks in Egyptian poultry.

...problems. LPAIVs H9N2 in chickens tend to show more respiratory tropism with some strains also show gastrointestinal tropism. The ideal mechanism of transmission among birds varies by host species and virus strain. The respiratory and contact transmission are likely the primary routes of transmission and may partly arise initially as an adaptation to poultry which clearly has implication for zoonotic transmission. Inactivated vaccines are the most common vacci...
