[h=1]The Genetic Diversity of Influenza A Viruses in Wild Birds in Peru.[/h] Nelson MI[SUP]1[/SUP], Pollett S[SUP]2,[/SUP][SUP]3,[/SUP][SUP]4[/SUP], Ghersi B[SUP]2[/SUP], Silva M[SUP]2[/SUP], Simons MP[SUP]2[/SUP], Icochea E[SUP]5[/SUP], Gonzalez AE[SUP]5[/SUP], Segovia K[SUP]2[/SUP], Kasper MR[SUP]2[/SUP], Montgomery JM[SUP]2[/SUP], Bausch DG[SUP]2,[/SUP][SUP]6[/SUP].

[h=3]Abstract[/h] Our understanding of the global ecology of avian influenza A viruses (AIVs) is impeded by historically low levels of viral surveillance in Latin America. Through sampling and whole-genome sequencing of 31 AIVs from wild birds in Peru, we identified 10 HA subtypes (H1-H4, H6-H7, H10-H13) and 8 NA subtypes (N1-N3, N5-N9). The majority of Peruvian AIVs were closely related to AIVs found in North America. However, unusual reassortants, including a H13 virus containing a PA segment related to extremely divergent Argentinian viruses, suggest that substantial AIV diversity circulates undetected throughout South America.
