    • Anti-parasite treatment and blood biochemistry in raptor nestlings 

      Hanssen, Sveinn Are; Sonne, Christian; Bustnes, Jan Ove; Schnug, Lisbeth; Bourgeon, Sophie; Ballesteros, Manuel; Eulaers, Igor; Moum, Truls Borg; Johnsen, Trond Vidar; Kjelgaard-Hansen, Mads; Herzke, Dorte; Jaspers, Veerle L.B.; Covaci, Adrian; Eens, Marcel; Halley, Duncan John; Erikstad, Kjell Einar; Ims, Rolf Anker (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      We investigated the effects of parasite removal on various blood clinical–chemical variables (BCCVs). BCCVs are indicators of health, reflecting, e.g., homeostasis of liver, kidney function, and bone metabolism. The study ...

    • Antiparasite treatments reduce humoral immunity and impact oxidative status in raptor nestlings 

      Hanssen, Sveinn Are; Bustnes, Jan Ove; Schnug, Lisbeth; Bourgeon, Sophie; Johnsen, Trond Vidar; Ballesteros, Manuel; Sonne, Christian; Herzke, Dorte; Eulaers, Igor; Jaspers, Veerle L.B.; Covaci, Adrian; Eens, Marcel; Halley, Duncan John; Moum, Truls Borg; Ims, Rolf Anker; Erikstad, Kjell Einar (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)
      Parasites are natural stressors that may have multiple negative effects on their host as they usurp energy and nutrients and may lead to costly immune responses that may cause oxidative stress. At early stages, animals may ...

    • Environmental pollutants modulate RNA and DNA virus-activated miRNA-155 expression and innate immune system responses: Insights into new immunomodulative mechanisms 

      Badry, Alexander; Jaspers, Veerle L.B.; Waugh, Courtney Alice (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Many persistent organic pollutants, such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), have high immunomodulating potentials. Exposure to them, in combination with virus infections, has been shown to aggravate outcomes of the ...

    • Evidence of avian influenza virus in seabirds breeding on a Norwegian high-Arctic archipelago 

      Lee, Megan Marie; Jaspers, Veerle L.B.; Gabrielsen, Geir Wing; Jenssen, Bjørn Munro; Ciesielski, Tomasz Maciej; Mortensen, Åse-Karen; Lundgren, Silje Strand; Waugh, Courtney A. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Background Wild aquatic birds serve as the natural reservoir for avian influenza virus (AIV), a disease with significant implications for avian and mammalian health. Climate change is predicted to impact the dynamics of ...

    • No evidence of avian influenza antibodies in two species of raptor nestlings inhabiting Norway 

      Lee, Megan Marie; Jaspers, Veerle L.B.; Løseth, Mari Engvig; Briels, Nathalie; Nygård, Torgeir; Bustnes, Jan Ove; Waugh, Courtney (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      Background: Since 2016, incursions of highly pathogenic avian influenza virus (HPAIV) H5N8 clade 2.3.4.4b have caused unprecedented clinical signs and mortality in white-tailed eagles (WTE; Haliaeetus albicilla) across ...
