  abstract = {{W}aterbirds represent the major natural reservoir for low pathogenic ({LP}) avian influenza viruses ({AIV}). {A}mong the wide diversity of subtypes that have been described, two of them ({H}5 and {H}7) may become highly pathogenic ({HP}) after their introduction into domestic bird populations and cause severe outbreaks, as is the case for {HP} {H}5{N}1 in {S}outh-{E}astern {A}sia. {R}ecent experimental studies demonstrated that {HP} {H}5{N}1 {AIV} infection in ducks does not necessarily have significant pathological effects. {T}hese results suggest that wild migratory ducks may asymptomatically carry {HP} {AIV} and potentially spread viruses over large geographical distances. {I}n this study, we investigated the potential spreading distance of {HP} {AIV} by common teal ({A}nas crecca), mallard ({A}. platyrhynchos), and {E}urasian pochard ({A}ythya ferina). {B}ased on capture-mark-recapture method, we characterized their wintering movements from a western {M}editerranean wetland ({C}amargue, {S}outh of {F}rance) and identified the potential distance and direction of virus dispersal. {S}uch data may be crucial in determining higher-risk areas in the case of {HP} {AIV} infection detection in this major wintering quarter, and may serve as a valuable reference for virus outbreaks elsewhere.},
