Phylogeography and biological characterization of H12N2 virus isolated from whooper swan in Central China.

Wild birds and waterfowl serve as the natural reservoirs of avian influenza viruses (AIVs). When AIVs originating from wild birds cross species barriers to infect mammals or humans, they pose a significant threat to public health.
