Description: I. The ecology, epidemiology, and evolution of influenza A viruses in wild migrating birds is still poorly understood due to the extreme complexity, with numerous virus host species (that are hard to study during part of their annual cycle) and multiple virus subtypes. To increase our basic understanding of avian influenza A virus (AIV) epidemiology, evolution, and ecology, we will use viruses of the H13 and H16 subtypes in black-headed gulls (Chroicocephlus ridibundus) as a model system. II. This study encompasses the phylogenetic analysis of the whole genome sequences of Avian Influenza (AI) virus isolates obtained from poultry and wild birds in the Netherlands from 2006 to 2015. We aim to identify specific mutations in the AI virus genome that correlate with an increased chance of AI virus introduction from wild birds into poultry, within-farm spread of AI viruses and transmission of AI viruses to other poultry farms.
