Field trials of a food-based vaccine to protect village chickens against Newcastle disease by Aini, I., Ibrahim, A.L., Spradbrow, P.B.

“…The efficacy of the food pellet vaccine in the field was evaluated by challenge trial in which 60 per cent protection was obtained, or by monitoring the incidence of Newcastle disease in vaccinated and unvaccinated birds. There was no report of Newcastle disease outbreaks in the vaccinated birds during the two-year period of the field trial. …”

Mosquito as West Nile virus vector: global timeline of detection, characteristic, and biology by Natasha, Jafar Ali, Yasmin, Abd Rahaman, Kumar Sharma, Reuben Sunil, Nur-Fazila, Saulol Hamid, Nur-Mahiza, Md Isa, Arshad, Siti Suri, Mohammed, Hussni Omar, Kumar, Kiven, Keng Loong, Shih, Ahmad Khusaini, Mohd Kharip Shah

“…Mosquitoes are extremely important vectors that transmit zoonotic West Nile virus (WNV) globally, resulting in significant outbreaks in birds, humans, and mammals. The abundance of mosquito vectors combined with the migratory flying behaviour of wild birds across the globe has exacerbated the dynamics of WNV infection. …”

Diving behaviour of benthic feeding Black Guillemots by Shoji, A, Elliott, KH, Greenwood, JG, McClean, L, Leonard, K, Perrins, CM, Fayet, A, Guilford, T

“…Bathymetry likely influences the dive behaviour of this benthic-feeding species because most dives were U-shaped and dive depths were shallow, which is typical for the relatively shallow water where the birds were observed foraging.</p>…”

Growth performances, carcass yield and meat quality of free range village chickens fed on diet containing dehydrated processed food waste by Shanaghi, Hossein

“…In addition, a significant interaction between DPFW and feed intake (P<0.05) resulted in a higher reduction in carcass yield of birds consuming more than 20% DPFW when compared with birds without access to DPFW. pH value of T4 did not show a significant difference from T3 (P>0.05), while it showed a significant difference between T2 and the control group (P<0.05). …”

Characterization of Newcastle disease virus (NDV) isolated from NDV vaccinated broiler farms and investigation of vaccine efficacy against challenge with Velogenic genotype VII NDV by Shahrestani, Kiarash Roohani

“…Vaccinated chickens also showed significant (P<0.05) lower pathogenicity scores although there was no significant (P<0.05) difference among the vaccinated groups. However, sentinel birds of Avinew and Dalguban N+ groups showed lower pathogenicity score compared to sentinels in LaSota group (P<0.05). …”

Design of a latching mechanism for perching UAVs by Koh, Martin Wei Xiang.

“…One solution is to learn from nature and get the UAVs to perch on objects like tree branches, like how birds often do that to rest. This would enable them to observe a certain spot for a significantly longer time.This report is the result of work done by three people, with each person taking up the task of design, development and testing, as well as a summary of the work done by other graduate students on the aerodynamics of perching. …”

Continent-wide drivers of spatial synchrony in breeding demographic structure across wild great tit populations by Woodman, JP, Vriend, SJG, Adriaensen, F, Cole, E, Evans, Park, JS, Firth, JA, Sheldon, B

“…Using 32 great tit populations, spanning 4°W–33°E and 35–65°N involving >130,000 birds across 67 years, we quantify spatial synchrony in breeding demographic structure (subadult vs. adult breeders) and its drivers. …”

Altruism and natural selection in a variable environment by dos Santos, M, Downing, PA, Griffin, AS, Cornwallis, CK, West, SA

“…We then empirically quantified the effect of helping on the variance in reproductive success across 15 species of cooperatively breeding birds. We found that a) helping did not consistently decrease the variance of reproductive success and often increased it, and b) the mean benefits of helping across environments consistently outweighed other variability components of reproductive success. …”
