We sampled 7,511 black-headed gulls for influenza virus in the Netherlands during 2006-2010 and found that subtypes H13 and H16 caused annual epidemics in fledglings on colony sites. Our findings validate targeted surveillance of wild waterbirds and clarify underlying factors for influenza virus emergence in other species.
我们在 2006 年至 2010 年期间在荷兰对 7511 只黑头鸥进行了流感病毒采样,发现 H13 和 H16 亚型在繁殖地的幼鸟中引起了年度流行。我们的研究结果验证了对野生水鸟的有针对性监测,并阐明了其他物种中流感病毒出现的潜在因素。
