Evidence of avian influenza virus in seabirds breeding on a Norwegian high-Arctic archipelago
Abstract 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 AIV, particularly in areas such as the Arctic, but the baseline data ne...
