Heterosubtypic immunity to influenza A virus infections in mallards may explain existence of multiple virus subtypes.

Heterosubtypic immunity to influenza A virus infections in mallards may explain existence of multiple virus subtypes.

Wild birds, particularly duck species, are the main reservoir of influenza A virus (IAV) in nature. However, knowledge of IAV infection dynamics in the wild bird reservoir, and the development of immune responses, are essentially absent.
