Reverse mounting in birds by Villar, DA

Molecular detection, risk factor and public awareness of avian bornavirus from captive and non-captive birds in Peninsular Malaysia by Mohd Lutpi, Syamsiah

“…In Malaysia, there was no study of ABV reported in captive as well as wild birds. Therefore, three main objectives of this study were: 1) To determine the molecular prevalence of avian bornavirus in captive and wild birds in Peninsular Malaysia by nucleic acid detection through reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay by targeting the M gene; 2) To determine the risk factors associated with ABV infection among captive and non-captive birds that was molecularly detected positive and 3) To assess the level of public awareness on ABV and its associated diseases via a set of knowledge, attitude, practice (KAP) questionnaires.. …”

Development of a recombinant non-replicating Newcastle disease virus by Cheow, Pheik-Sheen, Tan, Tiong Kit, Song, Adelene Ai-Lian, Yusoff, Khatijah, Chia, Suet Lin

“…In this study, we aimed to produce a rNDV with a truncated ant-igenome via reverse genetics to render it non-replicating (nr). …”

Paradoxical choice and the value of information in animals by Ajuwon, V

“…However, an experimental protocol referred to as ‘paradoxical choice’ shows that a range of bird and mammal species, including humans, appear to value information about upcoming events that they cannot use, as if their information-seeking behaviour was driven by an intrinsic drive to resolve uncertainty, or ‘curiosity’. …”

Prevalence of West Nile virus in domesticated mammals (cattle, goat, horse and pig) in selected areas of Peninsular Malaysia by Mohammed, Mohammed Nma

“…In nature, the virus is maintained in a cycle between wild birds that served as amplifiers and Culex mosquitos which are the vectors. …”
