Summary

This data set is comprised of four files related to the biosurveillance of low pathogenic avian influenza viruses (LPAIV) in migratory waterfowl at 22 locations in the Maryland portion of the Delmarva Peninsula in fall/winter of 2013-2014. Two files contain data related to the species, age, and AIV prevalence for all birds sampled (1 data file, 1 definitions file). The other two files contain data related to the primers and standards used in bioassays for AIVs (1 data file, 1 definitions file).

Purpose

The objectives of this study were to conduct AIV sampling in wild waterfowl to add to the limited baseline data available for this important region. Given the recent A(H5N8) and A(H5N2) HPAI outbreaks in the U.S., the detection of LPAIVs in migratory birds found in close proximity to high density poultry production highlights the need for continued long-term surveillance in this region. These findings provide information which can be used to compare ongoing HPAIV and LPAIV surveillance efforts in response to outbreaks in the U.S.
