Abstract:

Abstract: Avian influenza viruses (AIV) are widely distributed on wild birds. The wild waterfowls are particularly natural reservoirs of avian influenza virus. Migration of wild birds could not be overlooked during the prevalence of avian influenza virus. The paper discussed some questions based on the research data of AIV, including the prevalence of each subtype of AIV in global wild birds, distributing characteristic of AIV in wild birds, influenza viruses in ducks, the migratory birds and AIV transmission, season character of AIV infect wild birds and the role of natural environment reservoirs in the transmission of influenza viruses, so as to understand much about AIV in wild birds.
