Zusammenfassung: | Highlights • The results confirm local endemic circulation of three flaviviruses, particularly WNV, USUV and MBV, in both decoys and wild raptors in Spain. • This is the first study on WNV and USUV infections in decoys and the first report of MBV infections in waterfowl. • Our results indicate the eco-epidemiological role that waterfowl and wild raptors may play in the transmission of WNV, USUV and MBV, highlighted by the very close contact between decoys and humans. |
