Abstract excerpt
The eight gene segments of avian influenza virus (AIV) reassort frequently and rapidly to generate novel genotypes and subtypes that are transmissible to a broad range of hosts. There is evidence that AIV can have a restricted host range and can segregate in space and time. Host-virus relationships at the species, geographic, and spatial scales have not been fully defined for AIV populations of the Pacific...
