The project is to collect data to reassess the risk of the introduction of exotic Avian Influenza Viruses (AIV) into New Zealand by wild birds. This research will study the regional ecology of AIV and the role of migration, by targeting shorebirds and seabirds for detection of viral Ribonucleic Acid (RNA) and prior exposure to AIV.
