ABOUT THE CIRCULATION OF INFLUENZA VIRUS A AND THE DEATHS OF BIRDS IN SOUTH OF CENTRAL SIBERIA
Abstract
It was studied the long-term dynamics of influenza A viruses circulation in the Southern Central Siberia. Also, we studied of birds population dynamic as the main carriers of viral infection, as well as spatial and temporal distribution of positive samples containing specific antibody to influenza viruses subtypes H5 and. H7 and. genomic RNA of these subtypes. It was considered the cases of mortality wild. and. synanthropic birds in the region. It was shown a correlation between the identified centers of the virus influenza, the deaths of birds and. human disease with significant excess seasonal epidemic threshold, including a subtype Н1NЫЦ.
