Viral replication, persistence in water and genetic characterization of two influenza A viruses isolated from surface lake water.

Water-borne transmission has been suggested as an important transmission mechanism for Influenza A (IA) viruses in wild duck populations; however, relatively few studies have attempted to detect IA viruses from aquatic habitats. Water-isolated viruses have rarely been genetically characterized and e...
