Isolation of avian influenza virus (subtype H5N2) from chicken eggs during a natural outbreak

Avian influenza virus (A/Chicken/Pennsylvania/83; H5N2) was recovered from the yolk, albumen, and shell surface of eggs obtained from naturally infected chicken flocks in Pennsylvania and Virginia. These findings represent the first reported isolation of avian influenza virus from the internal conte...

Description
Summary:Avian influenza virus (A/Chicken/Pennsylvania/83; H5N2) was recovered from the yolk, albumen, and shell surface of eggs obtained from naturally infected chicken flocks in Pennsylvania and Virginia. These findings represent the first reported isolation of avian influenza virus from the internal contents of eggs from naturally infected flocks. The need for adequate safeguards to prevent spread of the virus during commercial movement of table and hatching eggs, cracked and "checked" eggs, and egg flats and other materials is emphasized. /// El virus de la influenza aviar identificado como A/pollo/Pensilvania/83; H5N2, fué aislado de la yema; albúmina y cáscara de huevos obtenidos de gallinas infectadas naturalmente durante un brote de la enfermedad en los estados de Pensilvania y Virginia. Estos resultados representan el primer reporte de aislamiento del virus de la influenza a partir del contenido interno de huevos procedentes de aves infectados. Se hace énfasis en la necesidad de tomar todas las medidas necesarias para evitar la diseminación del virus mediante la movilización de los huevos comerciales y fértiles, huevos rotos y bandejas de huevos.
