RESEARCH Open Access Evolution of a reassortant North American gull influenza virus lineage: drift, shift and stability
Background: The role of gulls in the ecology of avian influenza (AI) is different than that of waterfowl. Different constellations of subtypes circulate within the two groups of birds and AI viruses isolated from North American gulls frequently possess reassortant genomes with genetic elements from...

Methods: We isolated, sequenced and phylogenetically compared avian influenza viruses from 2009 Canadian wild birds.

We show evidence that the 2008 Great Black-backed Gull virus was derived from this lineage with a reassortment of a North American PA gene into the more stable core set of internal protein coding genes that has circulated in avian populations for at least 2 years.
