High seroprevalence of antibodies to avian influenza viruses among wild waterfowl in Alaska: implications for surveillance.

High seroprevalence of antibodies to avian influenza viruses among wild waterfowl in Alaska: implications for surveillance.

We examined seroprevalence (presence of detectable antibodies in serum) for avian influenza viruses (AIV) among 4,485 birds, from 11 species of wild waterfowl in Alaska (1998-2010), sampled during breeding/molting periods. Seroprevalence varied among species (highest in eiders (Somateria and Polysti...
