Main research activities are actually performed in order to
understand the epidemiological role of wild bird and wild boar
populations, in maintaining and spreading some infectious diseases
shared with humans and domestic animals. Wild aquatic birds are
considered the natural reservoir of influenza A infection,
harbouring viruses belonging to all the 16 hemagglutinin and the 9
neuraminidase subtypes. In particular, wild ducks provide most of
the gene pool from which all influenza A viruses in both human and
animal populations originate. Evidence of fatal cases of influenza
directly transmitted from birds to humans ( H5N1, H7N7, H9N2) and
occurrence of catastrophic influenza epidemics in domestic avian
species emphasise the importance of epidemiological studies in
reservoir species. Therefore, resident and migrant populations of
wild waterfowl trapped in Italian wetlands are monitored by both
serological and virological exams in order to assess the dynamic of
this infection in free-living populations: a constant circulation
of influenza viruses has been demonstrated during consecutive
winter seasons. Moreover, wild bird species belonging to
Passeriformes and Galliformes order are monitored in order to
assess their possible role of ecological interface between wild
reservoirs and domestic avian species. Finally, as the domestic pig
has a special ecological role, harbouring infections of viruses of
both human and avian origin, the epidemiological implication of the
wild boar in the influenza natural cycle is investigated. Avian
paramyxovirus (PMV) infections can cause heavy economic losses in
poultry. For this reason wild avian species are examined by both
serological and virological assays, in particular to evaluate the
circulation of the avian PMV1,cause of Newcastle Disease (List A of
O.I.E.). Moreover experimental trial have been performed in order
to evaluatethe risck of reintroduction of vaccinated birds during
the restocking programs.
