  abstract = {{A}n investigation of the presence of influenza {A} virus has been conducted in king penguins ({A}ptenodytes patagonicus) at the {P}ossession {I}sland in the {C}rozet {A}rchipelago, {A}ntarctica, using a rapid molecular diagnostic method based on real-time polymerase chain reaction. {N}o evidence of outbreak or positive viral infection of influenza {A} virus was found in this study. {W}e however recommend the implementation of long-term surveillance in seabird populations of polar ecosystems to detect the potential introduction of exotic strains and potential existence of a local epidemiological cycle for avian influenza viruses.},
