Host response
Host response
Research Question
- Identify a measurable host response
Research Gaps and Challenges
- Complexity of interwoven factors
- Inherent variability of maternal antibodies
- Varying types of antibodies, deltaFcIgY and their roles, mucosal immunity
- Need for animal models in the laboratory
- Many different wild bird species as a host to understand
Solution Routes
- Antibody detection vs. Protection, methods for hi throughput HIs?
- Other?
- Utility of in vitro systems
Dependencies
- Avian immunology for various species
- Understanding of the immune system of migrating birds
- Research facilities that can house dams, mares, hens and not just their offspring
- Understanding the nature and effectors of resilient AIV immunity
- Factors that contribute to failure to mount such immune responses in a species-dependent manner
