Our understanding of the global ecology of avian influenza A viruses (AIVs) is impeded by historically low levels of viral surveillance in Latin America. Through sampling and whole-genome sequencing of 31 AIVs from wild birds in Peru, we identified 10 HA subtypes (H1-H4, H6-H7, H10-H13) and 8 NA subtypes (N1-N3, N5-N9). The majority of Peruvian AIVs were closely related to AIVs found in North America. However, unusual reassortants, including a H13 virus containing a PA segment related to extremely divergent Argentinian viruses, suggest that substantial AIV diversity circulates undetected throughout South America.
拉丁美洲历来对禽流感 A 病毒（AIVs）的监测水平较低，这阻碍了我们对全球禽流感 A 病毒生态学的了解。通过对秘鲁野生鸟类的 31 株禽流感 A 病毒进行采样和全基因组测序，我们鉴定出 10 种血凝素（HA）亚型（H1-H4、H6-H7、H10-H13）和 8 种神经氨酸酶（NA）亚型（N1-N3、N5-N9）。大多数秘鲁禽流感 A 病毒与在北美发现的禽流感 A 病毒密切相关。然而，一些不寻常的重配病毒，包括一种含有与阿根廷极端不同病毒相关的 PA 基因片段的 H13 病毒，表明南美洲存在大量未被检测到的禽流感 A 病毒多样性在传播。
