Avian Influenza Virus (H11N9) in Migratory Shorebirds Wintering in the Amazon Region, Brazil
Aquatic birds are the natural reservoir for avian influenza viruses (AIV). Habitats in Brazil provide stopover and wintering sites for water birds that migrate between North and South America. The current study was conducted to elucidate the possibility of the transport of influenza A viruses by bir...
