Influenza A Virus Surveillance in Underrepresented Avian Species in Ohio, USA, in 2015.

We surveyed passerines and other terrestrial avian species for influenza A virus, resulting in molecular detection of virus from 1.5% of the 615 birds. However, no viral isolates were recovered. Little is known about the role that these undersurveilled avian species play in the ecology of influenza A virus.
