Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Wild birds are the natural hosts for influenza A viruses (IAVs) and provide a niche for the maintenance of this virus. OBJECTIVES: This study was undertaken to analyze nucleotide sequences of the matrix (M) gene of AIVs isolated from wild birds and live bird markets (LBMs) to index the changes occurring in this gene. METHODS: M-gene of 229 avian influenza virus (AIV) isolates obtained from wild birds...
