Effects of Infection-Induced Migration Delays on the Epidemiology of Avian Influenza in Wild Mallard Populations
18 Oct 2011
Abstract excerpt
Wild waterfowl populations form a natural reservoir of Avian Influenza (AI) virus, and fears exist that these birds may contribute to an AI pandemic by spreading the virus along their migratory flyways. Observational studies suggest that individuals infected with AI virus may delay departure from migratory staging sites. Here, we explore the epidemiological dynamics of avian influenza virus in a migrating mallard...
