The Cloacal Microbiome of Five Wild Duck Species Varies by Species and Influenza A Virus Infection Status

ABSTRACT Waterfowl, especially ducks of the genus Anas, are natural reservoir species for influenza A virus (IAV). Duck populations contain nearly all the known diversity of IAVs, and the birds are asymptomatic to infection. Previous work established that IAV infection status is correlated with chan...
