The impact of migratory flyways on the spread of avian influenza virus in North America
Abstract Background Wild birds are the major reservoir hosts for influenza A viruses (AIVs) and have been implicated in the emergence of pandemic events in livestock and human populations. Understanding how AIVs spread within and across continents is therefore critical to the development of successf...
