Resistant/cleared

Research Question

  • Information on resistant species (innate mechanisms of resistance to infection) and on immune clearance in susceptible species

Research Gaps and Challenges

  • Genetic determinants of resistance to HPAI strains in known reservoir species (e.g. ducks)
  • Mechanisms (genetic or otherwise) behind duck resistance to HPAI strains
  • Translation of recent findings on possible innate immune determinants of susceptibility in avian species into generation of more resistant breeds
  • Understanding avian immunology across 9000 species

Solution Routes

  • Understanding the immune response to influenza viruses and viral clearance with various strains, hosts, ages, states of immune function
  • The state of influenza A viruses in migrating wild birds
  • Role of deltaFcIGY in neutralization/clearance

Dependencies

  • Data on immunity from field settings
  • Approved tests (better tests) to assess immunity and protection from challenge
