Abstract The World Organization for Animal Health defines Avian Influenza Virus as a highly infectious disease caused by diverse subtypes that continue to evolve rapidly, impacting poultry species, pet birds, wild non‐human mammals, and occasionally humans. effects of influenza viruses have been recognised precursor serious health concerns among affected poultry, human populations in the Middle East. Furthermore, low high pathogenic avian lead respiratory illness with varying severity, depending on virus subtype (e.g., H5, H7, H9, etc.). Possible future outbreaks endemics newly emerging are expected occur, many studies reported emergence novel mutations viral subtypes. However, proper surveillance programs biosecurity applications should be developed, countries incapacitated defences against such encouraged undergo complete reinstation reinforcement their research sectors. Public education regarding biosafety prevention is necessary ensure minimal spread endemic.

Coronaviruses (CoVs) are part of the Coronaviridae family, and genera Gamma (γ) Delta (δ) found mostly in birds. Migratory birds have an enormous potential for dispersing pathogenic microorganisms. Ducks (order Anseriformes) can host CoVs from birds, with expression high economic impact. This study aimed to identify characterize diversity migratory ducks Portugal. Duck stool samples were collected using cloacal swabs 72 individuals (Anas platyrhynchos, Anas acuta, crecca). Among tested, 24 showed amplicons expected size. Twenty-three characterized as Gammacoronavirus one Deltacoronavirus (accession numbers ON368935-ON368954; ON721380-ON721383). The Gammacoronaviruses sequences greater similarities those obtained platyrhynchos) Finland Poland, crecca duck USA, mute swans Poland. Birds occupy many habitats therefore play diverse ecological roles various ecosystems, especially given their ability migrate exceptional distances, facilitating dispersal microorganisms animal and/or human There a considerable number studies that detected ducks, but none present assessed circulation wild Portugal, being first description these animals

Coronaviruses (CoVs) belonging to the Gamma-CoV and Delta-CoV genera are widespread in poultry wildfowl. Migratory birds, particularly duck species, serve as hosts for CoVs play a pivotal role transmitting viruses other including mammals. Despite potential risks animals humans, there remains narrow knowledge of genetic epidemiological properties wild birds. The current research aimed detect characterize present migratory species ( Anas acuta , platyrhynchos poecilorhyncha ) from South Korea. Employing two rounds pan‐CoV real‐time reverse transcription‐polymerase chain reaction (RT‐PCR) nested PCR (nPCR) assays amplifying conserved RNA‐dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) portion common all known CoVs, we screened 2120 fecal samples collected during 2022–2023. results indicated presence 4.2% (91/2120) ducks. Nucleotide sequencing RdRp gene revealed that identified were clustered within genus. Further phylogenetic analysis suggested Korean gamma‐CoVs belong Igacovirus subgenus share similarities with those found worldwide, highlighting critical ducks introducing exporting avian CoVs. We discovered clade VII igacovirus strains closely related pigeons, implying cross infection between these species. Overall, our study underscores importance active surveillance monitoring birds preemptive response against forthcoming emergence new CoV can threaten both animal human health.
