Prevalence and Diversity of Low Pathogenicity Avian Influenza Viruses in Wild Birds in Guatemala, 2010–2013

Abstract: Summary Waterfowl species are known to harbor the greatest diversity of low pathogenicity influenza A virus (LPAIV) subtypes and are recognized as their main natural reservoir. In Guatemala there is evidence of circulation of LPAIV in wild ducks, however the bird species contributing to viral diversity during the winter migration in Central America are unknown. In this study, samples obtained from 1,250 hunter-killed birds from 22 different species were collected on the Pacific coast of Guatemala during three … Show more

“…Similarly, we find that ducks overwintering in Guatemala harbor relatively high genetic diversity and elevated detection rates (24). This diversity is reflected in the number of genome constellations that were observed (52 different combinations from 68 recovered viruses).…”

“…H14 is a subtype of Eurasian origin and was detected in the Western Hemisphere only within the last decade and only at a low prevalence (3234). During the 2012-2013 season, we detected the largest number of H14 subtype viruses ever reported in dabbling ducks (the same number of virus sequences available globally for this subtype by 2013, n = 14), specifically in blue-winged teals (24). Time-scaled MCC trees inferred for all H14 sequences available up to 2013 showed clustering of the H14 HA genes from Guatemala by season, interspersed with North American viruses (Fig.…”
