DETECTION OF ANTIBODIES TO AVIAN METAPNEUMOVIRUS IN WILD BIRDS IN SOME REGIONS OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION IN 2015
The paper includes materials on sera samples from wild and synan-thropic birds tested for virus-specific antibodies to metapneumovirus in blocking ELISA in 2015. The tests were carried out in three regions of the Russian Federation: the Kirov Oblast, the Republic of Tyva and the Altai Krai. Antibodies to metapneumovirus were detected in sera samples from the following species: woodcock (Scopolax rusticola), grouse (Lyrurus), common hazelhen (Bonasa bonasia), great grouse (Tetrao urogallus), mallard (Anas plattyrhynchos), gadwall (Anas strepera), great-crested grebe (Podiceps cristatus), coot (Fulica atra), goose (Anser anser), raven (Corvus cornix), pigeon (Columba livia).
