Avian Coronavirus in Wild Aquatic Birds [PDF]

Journal of Virology, 2011
ABSTRACT We detected a high prevalence (12.5%) of novel avian coronaviruses in aquatic wild birds. Phylogenetic analyses of these coronaviruses suggest that there is a diversity of gammacoronaviruses and deltacoronaviruses circulating in birds.

Experimental quantification of long distance dispersal potential of aquatic snails in the gut of migratory birds. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Many plant seeds and invertebrates can survive passage through the digestive system of birds, which may lead to long distance dispersal (endozoochory) in case of prolonged retention by moving vectors.

A Novel Group of Avian Astroviruses in Wild Aquatic Birds [PDF]

Journal of Virology, 2012
ABSTRACT Using a pan-astrovirus reverse transcription-PCR assay, a great diversity of novel avastroviruses was detected from wild bird and poultry samples. Two groups of astroviruses detected from wild birds are genetically related or highly similar to previously known viruses in poultry.

Salmonella in Raptors and Aquatic Wild Birds in Chile [PDF]

Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 2020
Salmonella enterica is one of the main causes of gastrointestinal disease worldwide. Wild birds are capable of harboring a variety of Salmonella serovars, which could have an important role in the epidemiology of salmonellosis in humans and production animals. We tested 519 fecal samples from raptors and aquatic birds from different regions of central (

Distribution, composition and seasonality of aquatic birds in the Nhecolândia sub-region of South Pantanal, Brazil

Brazilian Journal of Biology
Despite remarkable significance of Pantanal for the conservation of aquatic birds, the status of their populations, the spatiotemporal patterns of distribution and habitat use and structure of communities are little known.

Aquatic Habitat Bird Occurrences at Photovoltaic Solar Energy Development in Southern California, USA

Diversity, 2021
The development of photovoltaic (PV) utility-scale solar energy (USSE) in the desert Southwest has the potential to negatively affect birds through collision mortality. Based on early patterns in fatality monitoring data, the lake effect hypothesis (LEH)

Can preening contribute to influenza A virus infection in wild waterbirds? [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2010
Wild aquatic birds in the Orders Anseriformes and Charadriiformes are the main reservoir hosts perpetuating the genetic pool of all influenza A viruses, including pandemic viruses.

Convergence and divergence in the evolution of aquatic birds [PDF]

Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences, 2001
Aquatic birds exceed other terrestrial vertebrates in the diversity of their adaptations to aquatic niches. For many species this has created difficulty in understanding their evolutionary origin and, in particular, for the flamingos, hamerkop, shoebill and pelecaniforms.

Molecular Characterization of Subtype H11N9 Avian Influenza Virus Isolated from Shorebirds in Brazil. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Migratory aquatic birds play an important role in the maintenance and spread of avian influenza viruses (AIV). Many species of aquatic migratory birds tend to use similar migration routes, also known as flyways, which serve as important circuits for the ...
