Avian disease screening of translocated sage grouse captured in Montana, USA
September 12, 2024
The purpose of this project is to determine the infectious status and exposure status of several diseases that have the potential to impact the health of greater sage grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) captured in Montana, USA to be translocated to Alberta, Canada. Specific disease status to be tested include, infection with avian influenza virus (AIV), infection with Avian Paramyxovirus-1 (APMV1) causative agent of Newcastle disease virus, and exposure to West Nile Virus (WNV) via serology to detect antibodies to WNV.
