Article Synopsis
- The study highlights that waterfowl have been identified as the main carriers of influenza A viruses (IAVs) since 1976, prompting extensive surveillance to assess their impact on health risks for humans and animals.
- Researchers analyzed IAV trends from 1976 to 2015, detecting the virus in over 8,400 samples from migratory birds and isolating 96 different hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA) subtype combinations.
- The findings reveal fluctuations in IAV prevalence based on seasonal migration patterns, with notable concerns about specific subtypes (H5 and H7) that could affect public health and agriculture, emphasizing the importance of ongoing surveillance efforts.
