  abstract = {{A}nimal migration is a major driver of infectious agent dispersal. {D}uck and seabird migrations, for instance, play a key role in the spatial transmission dynamics and gene flow of avian influenza viruses ({AIV}), worldwide. {O}n tropical islands, brown and lesser noddies ({A}nous stolidus and {A}nous tenuirostris) may be important {AIV} hosts, but the lack of knowledge on their migratory behaviour limits our understanding of virus circulation in island networks. {H}ere we show that high connectivity between islands generated by non-breeding dispersive behaviours may be a major driver in the spread and the maintenance of {AIV} among tropical islands of the western {I}ndian {O}cean. {T}racking data highlight two types of dispersive behaviours during the non-breeding season: birds either staying in the vicinity of their breeding ground (on {B}ird {I}sland, {S}eychelles), or moving to and roosting on other islands in the western {I}ndian {O}cean. {M}igrant birds used a wide range of roosting places from the {T}anzanian coasts to the {M}aldives archipelago and {T}romelin {I}sland. {E}pidemiological data confirm that brown and lesser noddies are major hosts for {AIV}, although significant variations of seroprevalence between species suggest that other biological and ecological drivers could be involved in virus infection and transmission dynamics.},
