Wild aquatic birds host a wide range of influenza A viruses that occasionally can be transmitted to other wild animals, domestic animals and humans.
The first part of this thesis aims at improving our understanding of the ecology and evolution of avian influenza viruses in wild aquatic birds.
The second part of this thesis aims at identifying risk factors associated with the wild bird and domestic interface.
