Abstract
⺠The pathogenicity of H5N1 HPAI viruses in ducks varies between different viruses. ⺠Young ducks are more severely affected by the more virulent H5N1 HPAI viruses. ⺠Infected older ducks had higher body temperatures then younger ducks. ⺠IFN-α, RIG-I, and IL-6 RNA gene expression was increased spleens of all infected ducks. ⺠Differences were observed in the levels of up-regulation of some innate immune genes.
