Ortho- and parainfluenza viruses isolated from the cloacas of migrating feral ducks shot on the Mississippi flyway [USA] included 3 strains of influenza A virus (Hav6, Hav1, Hav6 Nl, Hav7 Neq2) and Newcastle disease virus. One influenza virus, A/duck/Memphis/546/74, possessed Hav3 hemagglutinin, but the neuraminidase was not inhibited by any of the known influenza antisera. The neuraminidase on this virus was related to the neuraminidases on A/duck/GDR/72 (H2 N?), A/turkey/Ontario/7732/66 (Hav 5 N?), A/duck/Ukraine/1/60 (Hav3 N?) and A/turkey/Wisconsin/68. The neuraminidase on this group of influenza viruses is proposed to be designated Nav6. The A/duck/Memphis/546/74 influenza virus caused an ocular discharge in 1 of 5 ducks and was shed in feces for 10 days; it was stable in fecal samples for up to 3 days at 20.degree. C. Ecological studies on influenza in avian species should apparently include attempts to isolate virus from feces. Fecal-oral transmission is an attractive explanation for the spread of influenza virus from feral birds to other animals [including man].
