Influenza A Virus on Oceanic Islands: Host and Viral Diversity in Seabirds in the Western Indian Ocean

English version České info

Avian influenza viruses circulate in wild birds, worldwide, in particular in ducks and seabirds from which a large diversity of viruses have been described. The continued emergence of influenza viruses in poultry and humans has stimulated both research activities and surveillance programs; however, there are still many gaps in our knowledge on virus ecology and epidemiology, in particular in the Southern Hemisphere. In this study we investigated influenza virus circulation in seabirds in the islands of the Western Indian Ocean. We demonstrate that terns act as a major host for influenza viruses on oceanic islands and that, in addition to being infected with virus subtypes usually associated to wild birds, they also could regularly be in contact with viruses that represent a significant threat to veterinary and human health. This study demonstrates that the spatial isolation of these oceanic islands does not limit connectivity with the global avian influenza virus epidemiology and that it may create opportunities for local viral maintenance in wild bird communities.
