| surveillance of charadriiformes in northern australia shows species variations in exposure to avian influenza virus and suggests negligible virus prevalence. | the virologic surveillance of 4248 charadriiformes since 1992 primarily from coastal northwest australia did not detect any evidence of avian influenza virus (aiv) excretion (test prevalence = 0%; 95% confidence interval [ci]: 0%-0.09%). past exposure to aiv was evident from serologic testing using nucleoprotein (np) competitive-elisa (c-elisa) with an overall seroprevalence of 8.8% (95% ci: 8%-9.7%). the c-elisa seroprevalence of family scolopacidae and genus numenius was significantly higher w ... | 2014 | 25055621 |
