Environmental transmission of low pathogenicity avian influenza viruses and its implications for pathogen invasion
Environmental transmission of low pathogenicity avian influenza viruses and its implications for pathogen invasion
Understanding the transmission dynamics and persistence of avian influenza viruses (AIVs) in the wild is an important scientific and public health challenge because this system represents both a reservoir for recombination and a source of novel, potentially human-pathogenic strains. The current paradigm locates all important transmission events on the nearly …
