Avian Health and Disease Program FWS Southwest Region, Lead on the Texas NWRs

open

Fish and Wildlife Service

NOTICE OF INTENT TO MAKE A SINGLE-SOURCE AWARD. In accordance with Department of Interior Guidance (505 DM 2), U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Region 2 hereby provides notice of its intent to make a single-source award in the estimated amount of $32,720 to Stephen F. Austin State University under an existing cooperative agreement with the recipient for the project Environmental Availability of Lead and Use of Moist soil Management to Attract Waterfowl on the Texas NWRs. The objective of the cooperative agreement is to investigate the occurrence, availability, and ecosystem-related stress of lead on National Wildlife Refuges (NWRs) of the Texas Gulf Coast. The project will 1) determine the role of environmental lead present on National Wildlife Refuges (NWRs) of the Texas Midcoast NWR Complex and Aransas NWR; and 2) assess the use of moist-soil management on the Texas Chenier Plain NWR Complex to reduce waterfowl use of areas with potential hazardous lead concentrations. It is suspected that effects of lead exposure are contributing to the declining population trends of mottled ducks in Texas since the mid 1990s. Migratory birds, including the mottled duck, are a trust resource of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. This project will benefit the public by providing information that will support management decisions for mottled ducks, a popular gamebird, on NWRs of the Texas Gulf Coast. A cooperative agreement was chosen because the recipient is cooperating with the Service on a project to isolate potential sources of lead in the environment, determine where and when lead exposure occurs in mottled ducks, and evaluate effects of management practices on lead availability. Information from that project will be complemented by the information from this project to support management decisions for mottled ducks on National Wildlife Refuges of the Texas Gulf Coast. Because of the interrelationship between this award project and the project under which the Service and Stephen F. Austin State University are already cooperating, the Service anticipates having to direct or redirect the work as the project is delivered. Additionally, because the project study-sites are National Wildlife Refuges, substantial coordination between the Recipient and the Service will be needed. The assessment of moist-soil management is subject to a prescribed management rotation in refuge subunits (field preparation (e.g., disking), flooding, and drawdowns) that will be coordinated by the Service. The single-source determination is in accordance with criterion #2 (Continuation) and #4 (Unique Qualifications) under Department of Interior guidance (505 DM 2 at 2.14 B). THERE IS NO FULL ANNOUNCEMENT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS NOTICE.

Avian influenza virus prevention in the domestic host by a deactivated vaccine

open

NIAID - National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases

Abstract Influenza viruses, which affect both birds and mammals, pose a substantial public health concern. An estimated 10% of the global population annually becomes infected, resulting in 300,000 to 600,000 deaths worldwide. Our research objectives are to develop a Hemagglutinin (HA) and Neuraminidase (NA) based rabies-vectored vaccine against highly pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) A virus H5N1. We have already demonstrated the vaccine’s immunogenicity and protective efficacy against HPAI H5N1 Vietnam 1203. To advance this research, we propose to utilize a novel RAVB-based deactivated vaccine that harbors the H5 antigens of the current homologous circulation (clade 2.3.4.4b) and a construct expressing N1. Our first aim will involve comparing the H5 or H5/N1 RABV-based vaccines against challenges by PR8 recombinants carrying H5N1 proteins in mice. We will employ a single immunization and a prime/boost approach, either with or without an adjuvant approved for use in animals and humans (SEPIVAC SWE™). We will assess the role of T cells in the vaccine-induced protection by performing CD4/CD8 depletion before challenge Our second aim will utilize the vaccine approach identified to protect our mouse system in dairy cows. Subsequently, we will assess the vaccine’s efficacy against challenges administered intranasally and intramammary. We will verify the role of the vaccine-induced antibodies in protection against H5N1 by performing passive transfer studies of purified IgG from vaccinated cows before challenge. In summary, this study will evaluate the efficacy and delineate the mechanism of protection of a safe and well- established vaccine platform to protect against HPAI H5 and explore its potential as an animal and human vaccine.
