Article Synopsis
- Wild waterfowl and their habitats act as key reservoirs for influenza A virus (IAV) primarily during their breeding season and before migration.
- This study analyzed samples from a small wetland in the State of Mexico during the non-breeding season of migratory wild ducks, isolating an IAV subtype H4N2 from 240 water samples.
- The findings indicated that each segment of the isolated viral genome shows similarity to IAV strains found in North American ducks, suggesting that the virus can be present in small wetlands even when the birds are not breeding.
