Figure 1

Avian influenza virus prevalence among 7,511 black-headed gulls, the Netherlands, 2006–2010. Cloacal and oropharyngeal samples were collected once from each gull for virus detection. Influenza virus subtypes detected are shown above virus positives. Bars indicate virus prevalence (No. PCR-positive samples/no. gulls sampled per month). Black bars represent gulls in their first year (FY) of life, comprising nestling and fledgling stages; gray bars represent after-first year (AFY) gulls.
