The connectedness in Arctic regions between migratory waterbird populations originating from different continents and the potential for virus exchange at their shared Arctic breeding ground point to the need to explore the largely unstudied circumpolar circulation of avian influenza viruses (AIV). We here report the investigation of AIV in wild birds and lakes in a high Arctic area of Northeast Greenland. No AIV could be detected in the fecal, feather, and water samples collected from large flocks of pink-footed geese Anser brachyrhynchus and barnacle geese Branta leucopsis in and around refuge lakes, where they congregate at high density during their flightless molting period in summer.
源自不同大陆的迁徙水鸟种群在北极地区的连通性，以及它们在北极共享繁殖地进行病毒交换的可能性，表明有必要探索在很大程度上尚未得到研究的禽流感病毒（AIV）的环北极传播情况。我们在此报告对格陵兰东北部一个北极高纬度地区野生鸟类和湖泊中的AIV的调查。在避难湖及其周边，大量粉脚雁（Anser brachyrhynchus）和黑雁（Branta leucopsis）在夏季无法飞行的换羽期高密度聚集，从这些雁群采集的粪便、羽毛和水样中均未检测到AIV。
