Avian influenza is a highly contagious viral disease caused by the avian Influenzavirus(AIV). Waterfowl are considered theirnatural reservoirs, but highly pathogenic strains cancause mass mortality in both wild birds and poultry. Agroecosystems and coastal wetlands near migratory routes of wild birds are also habitats for manysynanthropic animals, which may serve as a "bridge host" betweenpoultry and otherspecies. We aimed to analyze the molecular prevalence of AIV in terrestrial synanthropic bi
